I only have good things to say about the TEFL Training that I am doing here on Koh Samui. A taxi picks us up at out bungalow at 8:45 a.m., classes begin at 9:00, and training finishes at 3:00 p.m.. When we have Thai language courses, we have a short 30 minute break at 3:00 and Thai Language lessons begin at 3:30 and finish at 5:30 with a 15 minute break, sometime. There is plenty of free time to enjoy the Island and practice speaking Thai.
This training is very thorough and very intensive including english grammar, lesson planning, classroom organization, and many other aspects including how thai people pronounce English words and how to help them to say it correctly using different techniques.
Today was very hot here in Koh Samui, I believe it is close to 100 right now. I feel so much better in this type of weather and I am looking forward to having "Summer" everyday. You would think I would be laying in the sun on the beach, but it is quite the opposite. Especially in Chiang Mai, I do not go into the sun too much. Chiang Mai is very hot, even more hot than the islands and ironically 80% of people have pale skin.
So, I do not have so much to say about the TEFL training right now, besides, you would get bored with the details anyways.
Tomorrow I am taking a boat to the next Island, Koh Phangan, at 7:00 a.m. to pick up my other backpack that I left there with my friend and coming directly back to Koh Samui within the hour. When I arrive to Koh Samui I 'think' I am going to rent a motorbike and go to explore Koh Samui, I still haven't decided yet.
