TEACHERS TO
THAILAND
SUMMER 1987

Duration : 8 weeks (JULY 1st to AUGUST 26th)
Price : #3 200 (all included)

Purpose

To provide teachers (elementary, secondary and college)
interested in the Southeast Asian area with the opportunity
to acquire first-hand information about this area, with
emphasis on Thailand and its culture. This experience will
enhance their intercultural awareness and understanding
through direct participation in Thai family, school, and
community life while providing more formal lectures and
discussions about specific issues on Thai culture and
education . The time spent with host families and in
communities will allow the hosting community to learn more
about Canada, its culture and educational system, and at the
game time Canadian teachers will act as resources for the
schools in both English language and social studies classes.
