Poet Tree in Kanchanaburi
Poet Tree in Kanchanaburi
Last month, Poet Tree sponsored a contest to share the most interesting application of ideas from this column. The winner of the contest is Mr. Khajit Foythong, a secondary teacher at Nongreephachanimit School in rural Kanjanaburi province. Mr. Khajit’s teaching style and dedication to his students are very inspiring. He offers useful ways of adapting ideas published in Poet Tree to his own classroom situation.
Rural Children
It must be very difficult to encourage children in rural areas to perceive the value of learning a foreign language. They live far from the city and rarely experience foreign culture, so the teacher must face these obstacles to help students develop. Mr. Khajit says that his students lack motivation to study English. He finds that teaching English by using poetry is the best way to develop their creative skills. Although his students may not immediately need English skills, the creative skills that they learn are important to their personal development.
