If you can speak 1 more language in addition to English It will be an advantage and increase options in the future. Both in terms of university entrance examinations and employment in various organizations.

Importantly, studying in a room with friends of the same age. When you are in front of a classroom with friends from different schools of the same age, you will be more courageous in using language and have a better learning atmosphere. After opening applications for only 10 days (1-10 Nov. 2023), there were almost full enrollment of students. But most students choose to study Chinese for communication. which focuses on speaking or communicating rather than learning for exams For the Japanese language, we are also open for tutoring for the JLPT N5 exam. As for the important points that make you interested in learning Eastern languages, In addition to the influence of the series mentioned above, There is also a large flow of tourists and Eastern investors who come to invest in Thailand.

Professor Praewa also said that for the opening of the first class The teaching team will test students’ knowledge level first. To divide classrooms as appropriate, for example, students who do not have a basic knowledge of speaking, reading, or writing will be placed in the Chinese Communication Class 1, while students who have only a slight background or have passed the proficiency test with 70% will be placed in a Chinese language classroom. for communication 2, etc. When taking the test, if it is found that any of the students have knowledge beyond the course they have taken Instructors will recommend courses at a higher level. For the learning atmosphere Emphasis is placed on having children study in a fun, non-stressful way. To begin with, there will be behavior-melting activities first. By playing games with friends to get familiar with new friends. Meeting friends from different schools and exchanging ideas about language. This will cause continuous self-development. In addition, there is an emphasis on having children go out often to play activities in front of the room so that they can practice their communication skills in public. Dare to use the language you have learned to interact with your friends and teachers in the classroom. It promotes self-expression. Not afraid of communicating with foreigners

“This project is very suitable for high school students because the cost is low. Class schedules are arranged appropriately. Importantly, students are also surrounded by a language environment within the university. DPU has a Chinese International College which has a large number of Chinese students. Students will have the opportunity to practice their language skills. Communicate directly with native speakers and learn about Chinese culture. In addition, the students also gain new experiences outside of school.
