Thai Educators Network

Thailand Educators Network (TEN) organizes a monthly opportunity for educators in Thailand to meet on a regular basis in a comfortable environment to share teaching and living experiences with colleagues and peers.

Our simple goal is to bring fellow educators in Thailand together to meet, have a few laughs, share ideas and learn from the many different experiences that reflect our teaching in Thailand.

We welcome educators, Thai, Western or anyone from around the region, from kindergartens and day care centers, Thai, bilingual and international primary and secondary schools; language schools or institutes; colleges and universities and private sector training enterprises.

With each evening centered around an interesting speaker, great food and drinks of your choice, TEN networking nights are a casual, comfortable way to unwind after a busy day in the classroom…

Thai school in July... Days are hot and holidays are a long way off...

14 July - Thailand Educators Network Evening...

Voice-recognition pronunciation-enhancing software for individual and group practice and support

Tuesday, 14 July 2009 will see Thailand Educators Network (TEN) get together a few days later than usual, but on this evening, in July, Malcolm Southern from Princeton Language School will be talking about a new and exciting voice-recognition pronunciation software and how it can help Thai students to improve their pronunciation and reading skills.

Using set lessons or tailor-made material, the software allows students to listen, repeat words, phrases and sentences on their own, in small groups or in larger classes.

The key, though, is that this software then provides feedback and further practice on unique phonemes, words and phrases that have not been correctly produced allowing students the opportunity to gain immediate input and practice with any aspects of English pronunciation with which they might be encountering difficulties.
  1. Coaches students one-on-one as a dedicated teacher
  2. Listens and verbally corrects students instantly
  3. Employs any lesson or material students need
  4. Corrects at the sound, word, thought-group and sentence level
  5. Trains any student of any age or language ability
  6. Captures and reports student progress while training and testing
  7. Supplements class content taught by native or non-native speakers
  8. Remains constantly ready and never impatient with students
  9. Replaces one, if not more, full-time native speaker teaching staff
  10. Offers schools more options to improve student English
If you would like to learn more about this new speech-recognition, pronunciation-enhancing software, come to our next meeting.

However, remember we will be meeting on Tuesday, 14 July and not Friday, 10 July (with so many holidays – Monday, 6 July for some, Tuesday, 7 July and Wednesday 8 July for most of us, we felt it would be best to wait a few days...)

The event starts at 6 pm; Malcolm’s talk at 6.50 pm. Entrance is 380 Baht for non-members and 280 Baht for members.


Date: Wednesday 14 July, 6PM-8.30PM
Venue: Roadhouse Barbecue, Surawong at Rama IV
