Abstract
Objective: The Elementary Thai course will provide the students with skills
they can immediately put into practice in day-to-day life and build the basis for
further in-depth study of the language. At the same time it must provide
flexibility to allow an easy adaptation for specific purposes and intensive
language training.
The grammatical progression must be clear and allow a comprehensive
command of the specific aspects of Thai grammar. In terms of methodology,
the course must make use of innovative foreign language teaching techniques
both in the classroom and outside the classroom, making full use of new
technologies.
Methods: The materials will be devised based on the curriculum and
methodology defined above. Priorities will be set for the order in which these
materials will be prepared (textbook and classroom materials first, together with
urgently needed material to allow self-study).
Results: As of December 31, 2006, a complete textbook together with a
teacher’s CD-Rom will be completed. In January 2007 through June 2007,
these materials will be revised and finalized and a student CD-Rom developed.
