They may get the definitions at the beginning of the term and be asked to memorize them and their definitions. This is what I've seen many times.
They only learn them in more detail during the year, but even then. When they are tested on them, they sometimes need to know their definitions and not necessarily how they are used in context.

I'm really starting to think of taking him out of MEP, and finding him a good tutor.

There's a kid in his class, that went to a good boarding school in Khon Kaen, he's supposedly very bright, and even he so it seems said the teachers are pathetic.

Consider the individual of the OP, firstly.
Seemingly contradictory.

What subjects is he taught in English? English, science and computers?
And who teaches him those subjects? Thai teachers or native English speaking teachers?
