Thai Language Methodology

Active Learning vs Passive Learning

Active Learning from Thai Language Hut is an efficient unique way for you to learn while enjoying the experience.

We have all at some stages in our life been sat in a classroom being 'taught at' by a teacher. This is passive learning. This approach is still the dominant approach in many Thai Language schools based on working through a book from A-Z with minimal exploration and questioning. This approach is NOT a good way to learn a challenging language like Thai. Interaction and active learning is far more successful and enjoyable.

Why be satisfied learning just from a book?

Successful memory experts, ‘associate’. This means they link what it is they wish to remember to a picture, situation and activity. In addition there are no better situations in which to learn than real life situations. We have adopted this approach to language training and although we do work from a book we mix in different styles of delivery and different environments (Walk About Training) to produce an enjoyable and highly successful learning approach.
