Hello,
Time to tell about my experience on the 3rd day until the 6th day in Thailand. The third day in Thailand was my first day at Phetphadungweingchai School. This school is equivalent to Primary School. Today I have to introduce myself in front of all students and teachers with English speech. As I spoke in front of the podium, they all so funny and adorable.
Then, on the first day, I also went straight into the classroom with my teacher's mentor Miss Malaithip Khonsue as the observation step that I will live. Neat, comfortable classrooms, not too many students, attention-grabbing students, and the teaching techniques my mentor uses are awesome for me.
For information about the school I can inquire with Mrs Chananya Kaewphung as an Academic section at Phephadungweingchai School or via the phetphadung.ac.th website but in the Thai language. I think this source of information is enough for me to gather general information and academic administrators at Phetphadungweingchai School. But sometimes I have to discuss with my friend Micah from the Philippines for other information such as the curriculum used by the school.
