| Teaching In Thailand Being a international school teacher in Thailand can be a great career with salaries in the range of $2,500 to $6,000 per month, or you could become a TEFLer teaching English with a salary range of 350-600 pounds per month, although with many teaching jobs it could be worth doing a TEFL course even if no experience is necessary, but will teaching students fulfil your overseas jobs yearnings? Is a English language teaching job something you really want to do? Can you teach English? |

 | The ability to understand a bit of Thai is simply an extra golf club in your bag, nothing more nothing less. A deeper understanding of Thai language structures can help you pin down the source of common errors which Thais make when speaking English. An example is I have ever been to Bangkok. If you know how Thais would say this in Thai, it explains why they say it in English. But as to speaking Thai in class? My general rule is don't. They get enough practise listening to Thai at home and in their regular school. The only occasions when I have used Thai is for a quick translation of a word which isn't target language and which is somehow stopping them from doing the activity I actually want them to do.
