TEFL Course in Chiang Mai, Thailand

SEE is based in Chiang Mai, Thailand. This 700 year old Northern Thai city is large enough to be described as a regional center, but small enough to allow exploration around its ancient walls, moat, temples and alleyways by bicycle or foot. It is situated closer to Myanmar and Laos than to Bangkok. Chiang Mai people are known throughout Thailand as friendly, polite and fun-loving. Celebrating one of Chiang Mai’s many festivals with your Thai friends is an experience not to be missed.

Teach English Anywhere in the World

The adventure and challenge of teaching students English in a part of the world where you can explore national parks, ancient communities and golden temples will help you to share and absorb another culture that very few people have the opportunity to enter. However, opportunities are limitless with SEE TEFL certification and SEE graduates are teaching across Asia, Europe, Central and South America and the Middle East.

TEFL and Teaching English in Thailand

SEE’s accredited TEFL Certification in Chiang Mai, Thailand enables its graduates to successfully step in to a classroom and teach English. Participants experience 6 x 1-hour teaching practices with real students in real schools. The schools include a nursing college, a kindergarten, a primary school and a government university. SEE’s teaching inputs combined with the teaching practices give participants the knowledge, skills, confidence and experience to be an English language teacher to non-native speakers.

Thai students, in general, are very shy and reserved. Students’ mistakes in class in front of their classmates lead to a great loss of face (sia naa), so teachers need to be patient and understanding. SEE’s cultural awareness training prepares teachers in order to avoid possible cultural embarrassment.

An ability to speak Thai is not necessary, although attempts to communicate in Thai are greatly appreciated by your school and Thai friends. Survival Thai-language instruction gives teachers the ability to request information and to hold short conversations. In addition, teachers are presented with a self-study language pack for further language development.

Teachers are highly respected within Thai society and as a foreigner who has come to Thailand to help in the development of the country you are given special respect.
