Top 20 Photos From TravelBud’s English Teaching Camp in Thailand

The TESOL course which TravelBud provides for those seeking the adventure of teaching English in Thailand has one fundamental component that no other TESOL school in Thailand has. It is the practical teaching experience and practice gained for teaching at a 2-day English camp at a local school in Hua Hin which sets this TESOL course above the rest. Here, the TESOL students get the unique opportunity to practice everything they have learnt so far during the course in an authentic setting where they teach several different English lessons to a variety of different age groups of Thai children.

The TESOL instructors sit in on a number of the different classes to provide help where needed and monitor the soon-to-be English teachers. After the camp, the TESOL students are all provided with thorough feedback from their instructors and note where they need to make improvements as well as where they are doing a good job. This 2-day English camp provides the TESOL students with an incredible opportunity to learn from their mistakes and get a real feel for what to expect before being placed at a school in Thailand to teach English full time.

Here are 20 of the top photos from TravelBud’s largest English teaching camp in Thailand to date.

Game time

Classroom games are a great way to begin and end lessons in Thailand

English teachers really need to be active and energized in the classroom. These young ladies did just that!

This guy brought such a unique atmosphere to his class by playing his guitar and singing along with his students at the beginning and end of each lesson. It’s safe to say that he was a huge success in the classroom!
