TESOL Course & Cultural Orientation Program
Everyone is required to complete a 120-hour In-Class TESOL course in order to be eligible to teach English in Thailand. The course is tailored specifically to teaching English in Thailand and is designed to fully prepare Westerners to teaching English in the Thai classroom (which many online and general TESOL/TEFL courses unfortunately don’t adequately do). The course takes place over 4 weeks in the beautiful beach resort town of Hua Hin (click here for a short video showcasing Hua Hin) in Thailand and covers the following over the 4 weeks:
– Module 1: Introduction to TESOL, Thai culture and language training – Thai Culture and language training is covered in the Cultural Orientation Program which includes various cultural excursions as well as in-class theory to help you make a smooth transition into your new environment.
– Module 2: Theory and lesson planning
– Module 3: Teaching grammar
– Module 4: Teaching reading
– Module 5: Teaching listening
– Module 6: Teaching speaking
– Module 7: Classroom management – in the last week of your TESOL course you will get the opportunity to practise what you have learnt in the classroom during a 2-day local and non-profit English camp. Here, you will construct lesson plans and conduct your own lessons to Thai children.
The 120-hour In-class TESOL course is conducted by the top and most reputable TESOL school in Thailand with the best TESOL instructors who have years of teaching experience in Thailand. The course will also provide you with the following:
– An internationally recognized 120-hour TESOL certificate
– Instructor and peer feedback
– TESOL course book
– Free access to our Teacher Resources section
– Teacher observations in the local community
– Real teaching experience in a 2 day local non-profit English camp
– Cultural Excursions. You will get the opportunity during the Cultural Orientation Program with to go on exciting and adventurous excursions within the local community where you will be immersed in culturally rich local experiences ranging from exploring ancient temples to volunteering at elephant sanctuaries.
– Welcome Dinner (BBQ or Braai). The first night of the TESOL course is spent on the beach of Hua Hin with course instructors and fellow TESOL students from around the globe. You and the other TESOL students are welcomed in with a Barbeque (Braai) and get the opportunity to meet and befriend each other. You will most probably form great ties and friendships with everyone during the course and the rest of your stay in Thailand which is also a major plus-side to doing an in-class TESOL course in Thailand.

Job Placement
During the TESOL course, you will get the opportunity to discuss in detail your preferences in terms of your job placement in Thailand. Teaching English in Thailand is a wonderful experience and it is of utmost importance to us that you are placed at a school and location that best meets your preferences. You will discuss the age of the children you prefer to teach, where you wish to live and teach in Thailand, and whether you would like to be placed in the same region as a fellow TESOL student.
It is fairly difficult to arrange job placement at a school with a friend of partner, however, the TESOL school will do their best to place you in the same town as a fellow TESOL student if that suits you best. This will most likely be arranged but at the same time all depends on the town and the demand for teachers at the time. As the TESOL school is regarded as the most reputable TESOL school and job placement agency in Thailand, they have the best network of schools across the country and can therefore offer job placement at the top and most reputable schools in Thailand.
