Students from the International School Eastern Seaboard took time to visit a local Thai school and help pupils learn English.
The Grade 7 ESL-A students went to the nearby Phansadetnai Elementary School to play English learning games with Grade 4 students.
Two students from ISE explain a game.
To prepare for the visit, students first created games that encouraged speaking and participation. They then practiced writing clear instructions, teaching their games, and playing them with their classmates. The visit was a fun learning activity not only for the elementary students at the Thai school, but also a valuable one for ISE students.
All the ISE students said the November 18 visit had been beneficial. One student, Tuck, said, “Before I visited the Thai school, I thought I would be shy. But when I visited and met them, I changed my thoughts. Many students there were friendly and when we started to play the games, they listened to me and they tried to play.”
Another student, Karn, said, “I felt good that the children tried to participate in every game. I learned how to speak aloud in front of the class and I felt proud that the children learned some new words from our games.”
