Teaching in Thailand

Mini-English Program or MEP is also called as Learning English Program is another program being catered by Media Kids Academy. MEP or LEP is an advance class where in three of the major subjects are taught in English which are; Mathematics, Science and Computer also include English as a subject. MEP or LEP meets 3-5 times a week same as IEP class. Every MEP or LEP teacher must be at least have a good basic knowledge and “know-how” about how to teach Math, Science and Computer. MEP or LEP is quite challenging for the reason that the subjects are being taught in English in a mono-lingual classroom. Also, MEP or LEP teacher somehow will still have some ECD or IEP classes and it is still included in a 22-24 hours teaching every week and must perform the same duty and activities as the ECD teachers.
