Teaching methods
The method of teaching was carried out specifically on English,
namely, the teacher gave an explanation of the lessons in the book from the
government (at that time the book used was titled "Let's Go!" For
Prathom 5 or 5th grade). Then, the teacher provides an understanding with
several questions that refer to the teaching material. Some of the questions
included dialogue, picture and they had to fill in food/drinks/places that fit
the picture, and so on. These questions are found in the problem exercise book
given by the government. Students can work on the book or in a notebook in
accordance with the teacher's direction.
The teaching method provided is using a textbook as reference
material and discussion of questions and conversations (to practice speaking as
stated in the curriculum), then proceed with additional videos if needed.
1.2.
Learning materials and innovation
Learning materials available are printed books. The
book has several chapters such as school books in general. The chapter is about
food, place, limb, and others. Not only describes the names of places and food
or members of the body, but in the book are available conversations used when
communicating using English. The conversation is certainly related to the
material in the chapter. Besides that, in the book, there are tenses that are
used to explain the conversations in the chapter.
Besides printed books, there are also videos and
music. The video is used to describe how the material is being taught. As we
know that students can digest material more easily with music or video.
Therefore, for class 5, the teacher gives videos and music to students so that
they can easily understand the material. Music is used when playing games so
students become excited and enjoy learning English.
The innovation that I found in schools and classes is
that teachers often use practical methods so students can easily understand
English. The average student in Thailand is quite difficult to understand and
use English. But with the innovation of teachers who teach English through
video, music, and games, students can understand the material taught by the
teacher.

Sources of learning and technology
This
school uses internet access to open YouTube in learning to attract students to
English. In addition, the teacher also provides assignments that make students
work such as making state pop-ups in ASEAN, cutting, pasting paper containing
student teaching materials and others.
The
technology in this school is also sophisticated. For English, a special room is
provided, namely an English room for students to study. This room is quite
spacious, with ten tables available and several reading books. There are also
projectors, TVs, and tools for the reading paper that can be connected directly
to the TV, a mic to amplify the sound so that the teacher's voice can be heard
by all students in the class.
1.4.
Authentic assessment
The
assessment carried out by the teacher in this school is by giving assignments
in the form of writing or craft related to English subjects. Each assignment
given has its own rating which will be written in the table by the teacher. The
assessment also includes daily tests and written examinations that will be
accumulated with other tasks.
