Experience Summary
Before I moved to the U.S.in December 2014, I was a tenured lecturer in the Department of English, Thammasat University (Thailand) where I taught different courses covering a wide range of language skills, such as “Reading for Information”, “Reading and Writing in Business 2”, “Paragraph Writing”, “Argumentative Writing”, “English Listening-Speaking 1 and 2” and “English for Hotel Personnel”. In the classes that I taught, I usually had students from different academic disciplines and I strived to accommodate their diverse needs, interests and learning styles. I frequently created teaching materials to supplement the assigned texts. For example, I developed the course syllabi and created all course materials for “Listening Speaking 2” and “Argumentative Writing”, which were later standardized and used throughout the Department. I have also used an e-learning platform, Moodle, to enhance a traditional face-to-face class format. During my time as a doctoral student at the University of Georgia, I taught two graduate-level courses: First and Second Language Acquisition and Development and a distance education version of Language and Culture in the Classroom. I also continue to work with graduate students in Thailand as an advisor for Master’s and Doctoral theses.
