Teaching English Material

Online resources

Many international volunteers like you try teaching English the first time while they volunteer. Here is a collection of teaching English material available online for our international volunteers in Thailand. You might be a native speaker but lack ideas how to teach English effectivly and with fun or you just run out of idea how to teach English.

Teaching English as a second language can be a lot of fun, and maybe even you discover something new. Some international volunteers joined Thai-Experience to test themselves if they really want to become teachers, others used it as a chance to get a start as TEFL teacher in Thailand. Both is possible and we encourage you to try it out first and see if you really like this very different country.
