Organizing an English Camp

As a Fulbright grantee, I was awarded the chance to teach English as a foreign language in Thailand. I taught highschool students at Princess Chulabhorn's College Chiang Rai (PCC), a boarding school in northern Thailand. In January, I helped my department organize a three-day English camp for nearly 200 M2 (8th grade) students at PCC. The camp was a great success. In the end, I created this instructional video, provided on CD with logistical documents (materials lists, station descriptions, etc.) for use by next years native English teachers and Thai English teachers. This CD was presented to both PCC and the Fulbright Commission in Thailand, the Thailand-U.S. Educational Foundation (TUSEF).

--- Special thanks to: Alicia Smith and Kirsten Farcus (for our planning sessions and friendship); to Kali Schloth, Brad Foster, and Caryn Fields (for their help making the camp a success); and to the faculty and staff of Princess Chulabhorn's College Chiang Rai (particularly the English Department, for without them this would not have been possible). ---
