Greatings gang,hope your all doing ok and not suffering too much.As you may have noticed my spelling and grammar in my journals are abit poor.It's because most of the time i write is after i've had a few socials down the local(it help's me relax i don't drink all the time!!!!).Anyway this week has been a good week, i finally finished my teaching practices and did pretty well.The kid's were really great and they got alot of work done(unlike myself at school).Next week is my final week and my final exam's,I hope to do well but me and test's are [View Full Entry]

I'm nearly there hard too believe i arrived without a clue and now i feel ready to take on the world.(More like a class a of student's.)I had another teaching practice this week and alot of grammar and phonetic's so i'll talk about the teaching bit as i'm sweating at the thought of my phonetic's and grammar test.I had the pleasure of spending a good hour with about 9 students average age 6-7 years.I had spent alot of time planning my lesson, even dressing in fancy dress to set the scene.It went well and although i did make a few [View Full Entry]

Hey,just had the best week of the course yet although it didn't start like that.At the beginning of the week the nerves were getting the better of me as i was about to teach for the first time.We were going to teach 25 staff from Bangkok Airways how to speak and use english in the work place.As i stood their infront of the class i noticed the temperature go up in the room and my heart sank slowly into my gut.I had the same thought every teacher has from time to time "What the hell am i doing here" and it [View Full Entry]

On Monday it's my first teaching practice infront of 25 Bangkok Airways staff in the north of the island.It's a 1hr lesson so i've been writing out my lesson plan most of the week.As i'm writing this my stomach is juggling at the thought of those eyes all fixed on me waiting to see what kind of teacher i am,so this weekend im spending most of it planning and going through what should be an eye opening experiance.In fact i have 3 teaching practices on Mon,Tues and Thurs so if [View Full Entry]

Hey,well for my first entry i can't really tell you much. After a very tiring 11hr flight to Bangkok and another couple of hour's hanging about i arrived.As soon as i stepped outta the plane it was like walking into an oven.It's been like that most of the time,yesterday it rained alot but it's nice when it does.I stayed in a hotel on the main road in Chewang so it wasn't quite.Last wednesday was Songkran so everyone was in a party mood throwing water everywhere.I joined in and spent a good few hour's by the road side straying water over [View Full Entry]
