Partnership

This web site represents the content in 10-part professional development series for English as a Foreign Language educators in Thailand. It is taking place during the months of November 2005 - August 2006. Two cohorts of teachers will participate in the training in Hua Hin and Bangkok, and teachers nationwide can gather together to watch the video conferences live at provincial ERIC centers. Sessions are rebroadcast on television stations at regular times afterwards. University of Oregon is proud to be partnering with the Public Affairs Office of the US Embassy in Bangkok, the Royal Thai Distance Learning Foundation, the Thai Ministry of Education, colleagues at Chulalongkorn University, and colleagues at ThaiTESOL on this innovative and exciting project.
