Thailand is an amazing place to teach English. But times are changing and Footprints is looking for the best and the brightest to fill the teaching positions. As of March 2009, the Teachers Council introduced the following amendments (修改) to ensure that all teachers in Thailand have a minimum (最小) number of Education course credits along with their bachelor" s degree. The following teaching requirements apply to (适用于) English teachers in Thailand: ●A foreign teacher with a Bachelor of Education degree is required to take a 20-hour course about Thai culture in order to have a work permit to English teachers in Thailand. ●A foreign teacher with any other degree than a Bachelor of Education degree will be required to either: ☆ pass an exam on several aspects of education ( nearly impossible without Education Courses) or ☆ complete a prescribed (规定的) set of education courses through an approved Thai University ●A foreign teacher must be a native English speaker with an Australian, Canadian, Irish, New Zealand, South African, British or American passport. If the foreign person is employed teaching while completing the courses, they"ll have to take night and weekend courses. The courses take almost one year to complete. The cost for the courses is 60,000 baht. Upon completing the courses, the teacher will have earned the right to apply for a teaching license in Thailand and will then have the right to apply for a work permit to teach in Thailand. The problem is that this teaching license and these teaching credits are only valuable in Thailand. | |||

Many people easily feel disappointed whenever they fail in their business. The failures may lead them to pessimism (悲观主义). The following saying" Failure is the mother of success" has been used to encourage these sorts of people. At first," everything is difficult at the beginning". When we start carrying out a certain plan, although it is carefully planned, we still meet some unexpected difficulties. For example, a farmer tried to sow a new kind of seeds. To his disappointment, the new seeds did not produce him a good crop as expected, while his neighbor farmer sowed the same seeds but harvested better. Our unfortunate farmer did not lose hope and was determined to find out the causes of his failure: he tried to better his soil and finally succeeded in collecting 5 tons of rice per hectare. If you lose one go, try another. The patience and persistence (坚持) are important. Drawing experience from failures, finally we"ll succeed. Our success comes from our determination after failures. Demosthenes, the greatest Athenian orator (雄辩家 ), before becoming famous, had to suffer so many failures. The audience paid little attention to his political speeches because of his weak voice. He determined to get rid of this defect. Day after day, he went to the sea, shouting with very loud sounds of waves and in the end he got a convincing (令人信服的) voice. The above saying is quite right when used in pupils" lives. If you are weak at certain subjects, don"t be disappointed. Go on with your study. You should learn more from your friends, your teachers and others and listen to their advice. In this way, you can get over your defects and weaknesses. | |||

Babies can learn new words if they are connected with objects that catch their attention, researchers at the Infant Lab at Temple University in Philadelphia have found. "They hear every word," said Kathy Hirsh-Pasek, professor of psychology at Temple University. "And they are also paying attention to the things that are interesting to them." Previous studies showed babies as young as 10 months old may understand about 10 words. But Infant Lab researchers wanted to figure out how these infants actually learned words. So they tested more than 75 babies, showing them a series of objects and attaching made-up names to them. They would ask the babies questions, and then track their eyes to measure their responses. So, could the babies remember the names? They found infants could match words with objects. But they also discovered babies only associated the new words with the objects that caught their attention-interesting objects. They did not associate words with the boring, dull objects. For parents, the message in all this is that very young children are listening and learning language. And they learn about the things that specifically interest them. Twins Mark and Anita Farrell took part in the study when they were 10 months old, and their mother, Penni Farrell, took home what she learned about baby behavior. "I decided to go out and buy a couple of books that and more colorful images, words, things that would draw their attention," she said. Researchers say parents should follow a baby" s lead. Another lesson for parents, researchers say, is to talk with your children starting at a very young age, and make sure that conversation is about something your child finds interesting. | |||
