How to Arrange Your Classroom While Teaching in Thailand

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Sean Graham on behalf of Expert Village, sponsored by goturkey.com. In this segment, what we're going to talk about is classroom set up. In a classroom, a typical classroom, you tend to find the desks are all set out like this. And the teacher stands here in front of the board. Now this kind of set up, to me, is not productive. The reason for that being is that it's very difficult for the teacher to be able to get around in to these areas because of the chairs and some bags, what have you. The students at the back, they're difficult to get to. Especially if it's a small class. What I do, I always set up my class like this. What I like to do is make a "U" shape like this, with the desks going along in a "U" shape like this. If you have more students, you can tend to put a couple of desks in here like this, and in here like this. This makes it very easy for me, then, to be able to help the students in the back of the class, any direction. I can help the students in the front, and at the side. Just makes them a lot more easy for me to get to, speak to, then help. Thank you."
