Incorporating modern technologies in the right mix can lift the spirit of the classroom learning environment. With the convenience, availability, and flexibility offered with new technologies, students would have more interest in learning, sharing and learning new information in day to day basis.

As a teacher, we often find ourselves daunted with the task of capturing our students' interests and also equipping them for the future. Not only do we seek to train better students, but we also want to produce better citizens, workers, and future teachers.

A World Called Bangkok
There's a reason why Bangkok was named as one of the world's Top Ten Cities by Travel + Leisure and the number one visited city by Global Destination Cities Index.
It's a city of fabulous restaurants, frantic non-stop shopping, pristine temples and Thailand's best museums. It's teeming with both modern life, city malls and traditional cultural enclaves and floating markets. If you're in to night life, the City of Angles is second to none.
It's arguably the single best city in Thailand for Thai food – one of the world's great cuisines – whether you're eating on the street or at five star restaurants.
Bangkok is easy to know, but hard to define. Perhaps that's the reason why some who come end up staying for years. The city is a... [Read more]

Effective Steps of a Teacher to Motivate their Students
Motivation is perceived to be one of the key factors of any success story we know of today. It implies hope and a desire to act upon a task that may not look so appealing to us, on the contrary, motivation is usually needed when we face challenges. Whether it's trying to climb a career ladder, get rid of bad unhealthy habits or even force yourself to go to the gym a certain amount of times per week. All these activities require a tremendous level of motivation and the desire to act upon it in the first place.

The Relevance and Impact of Computer-Aided Language Learning in Teaching English
Today's technology-based society has a significant impact on how English is both experienced and taught. A great number of professionals spend a large part of their day on the Internet and interacting with all that it and ICT, in general, has to offer. Through it, they absorb information, generate knowledge and are both indirectly and directly educated and influenced. Computer-assisted language learning tools provide us with a vast number of resources that we can use both in the classroom when teaching collective language lessons or in a group and individual students assignments.

What are the Advantages of Reading Stories to Children When They are Learning English?
Is it useful to read stories to my 3-years-old students? This is a question that many teachers ask themselves when considering reading in English in early childhood. Through careful self-assessment during my years of teaching experience, I have found out that reading stories in the classroom is a powerful resource when learning a new language. For starters, stories grab visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learners' attention when seeing the images and connecting words and feelings. It is also worth considering that books enrich readers' vocabulary and strengthen their language skills. Last but not least, readers are motivated, influenced, and... [Read more]

An Overview of the Best Learning Theories
Learning, which has always been a controversial issue, is perhaps one of the most significant characteristics of the human race. The earliest learning theory was proposed by the world-renowned Greek philosopher Plato (428 BC- 347 BC), who simply questioned the knowledge acquisition ability in terms of encountering a thoroughly new topic and answered this question in order to hypothesize the theory of recollection.
