English Teaching Resources for Thailand

Many teachers upon arriving in Thailand are not given much in the way of materials that help prepare them to teach the children in their classes.  Schools are notorious for this. They sign you up for a job not knowing if you can teach at all, and then don't bother to help you come up with a syllabus and course outline except to say - here's what we did last year. If you're the unlucky new English teacher that is a first for their new English program - you'll need to find the Thai curriculum and get that translated by someone competent enough to do so.  From there you'll need to find books in English that will cover everything on the Thai curriculum. 

If you're in a program where you are the ONLY teacher for Math, Science, Drama, Health or whatever subject, then the entire responsibility is on you for teaching the kids what they would have learned in a Thai class. But, you're teaching them in English.

It's quite a challenge.  So... I wanted to start putting a lot of resources for teachers to download here. Resources for English conversation, grammar, reading, spelling, games, math, science, everything.  Send me whatever you have and we'll find a way to put it up on the site in a meaningful way so that other English teachers in Thailand can download the files and get something out of them. 

Send ANYTHING!  Really, it will help someone down the road...

If you have lists of books that you really like - we'll put those on a page too. I have some in mind, but it will take me a little time to get that kind of stuff online.  If you want your name credited beside the links to this stuff - let me know. If you don't - that will be the default, I won't put your name by anything you send in unless you ask for it.

Ok, thanks - enjoy the downloads.

PINK BOOKS - EXCEL formatted...  Just fill in the students and their student numbers, grades, absences, and EVERYTHING else you would typically put into the very tedious PINK BOOKS.  Print landscape mode and you'll save yourself a lot of time figuring out grades - Excel does it for you. Of course you must enter the formulas for it. Someone in your office should probably know how to do it.

This sample file is free to download, pass it to others. It is set up for a 2 days per week class. There is room enough for 4 classes on this spreadsheet.  If you need to do different classes - like if you have class 3 days per week or other - just copy this file once you download it. Name it something else.  You'll figure it out!  If questions write me and I'll try to help.
