The Teach in Thailand Professional program will be a more demanding work schedule both in terms of volume and intensity than the Teach in Thailand program, as you will be bringing valued teaching experience.
As the lead classroom teacher your goal will be to improve the conversational English skills of your students. Through creative classroom exercises and educational games, your native English abilities and cultural savvy will improve the verbal competence of your eager Thai students.
Your participation on the Teach in Thailand program will help to support English language education for Thai students. As a foreign teacher you’ll be promoting a healthy exchange of cultures and empathy for Thai students, teachers, and the greater community all while gaining awareness of Thai people, culture, and language through this unique immersion experience.
Some positions are available for Math or Science teachers who have the necessary teaching qualification.
Students
Participants in the Professional program will teach English to students at the secondary level (grades 7-12).
Workload
A typical teaching load is 22 classes per week, depending on the school. In addition to actual time spent in the classroom, participants are expected to devote time to class planning, presentations, faculty meetings, and a modicum of extra-curricular activities. Participants should assume a 35-40 work week.
Schools and Location
Positions are available at secondary schools with International, Bilingual or English programs in mostly urban areas all around Thailand. We do not place anyone in the southern provinces of Narathiwat, Pattani, Yala, Satun, and Songkhla.
You can request placement in a particular location, though placements are driven by the demand for English-speaking teachers and the requirements of each host institution, so CIEE cannot guarantee that all requests will be honored.
