A unique experience
for Thai teachers
June 30 - July 4, 1999
The Bangkok Post and Bangkok Post Student Weekly have long had an ambitious programme to help Thai English teachers use our newspaper as a teaching resource. Over the years, we have developed a close relationship with many outstanding secondary, college and university teachers. This year, in cooperation with Star Cruises, Thai Airways, Cathay Pacific, Angel Air and Singapore Airlines, we were able to organise a unique educational experience for a group of 100 of our long-time supporters. They were given a 5-day Phuket-Singapore cruise on the luxurious Superstar Gemini.

The Bangkok Post and Bangkok Post Student Weekly recently took a group of 100 secondary, college and university English teachers on an unusual 5-day floating seminar on the luxurious Superstar Gemini cruise ship.
In addition to their academic training, the teachers joined in all the Superstar Gemini's remarkable recreational activities as well as touring Langkawi, Penang and Malacca.

During the Phuket to Singapore cruise, the teachers got first-hand experience in gathering information and writing it up in the newspaper style. They were guided by Bangkok Post's educational service staffers, Acharn Terry Fredrickson and Acharn Sunee Canyook. |
