CURRICULUM
Since I am an English Major, my focus during the exchange program is following the English Curriculum implemented in the school. This is my guiding tool to make my preparations and instructions valid and reliable.
Teeratada Phitsanulok School uses the British Curriculum in teaching the English language. This is a type of curriculum wherein the structure is used by schools to make sure teaching and learning are balanced and consistent. The British English Curriculum mainly defines the subjects to be taught; the skills and knowledge required in every subject taught; the level of ability of the students as assessed and reported after every lesson. Within this structure, Teeratada English Teachers are free to plan and organise teaching and learning in the way that best meets the needs of the students.
Additionally, the school always prepares the students to take the IELTS (International English Language Test System) Examination. The lessons that they prepare for their students are mainly focused on the students’ needs for passing the IELTS.
TEACHING PLAN (ENGLISH)
In lined with the British English Curriculum, I made a lesson plan which consists of contents and contexts of British English.
