The British Council is delighted to announce the opening of the Thailand English Teaching Project 2013. This unique project will bring UK students to Thailand to work as English Language Assistants in schools and colleges for an 8 week period this summer. 

The project is set up as a 3-way partnership between the British Council, the Thai Ministry of Education and participating UK HEIs.

After the successful pilot last year, we are once again seeking the support of UK HEIs to manage the initial institutional recruitment on our behalf.  The recruitment process would involve participating HEIs:

• advertising
• collecting applications
• selecting and ranking applicants
• checking references
• sending us the final list of selected candidates.

We realise that this would require some staff capacity within institutions, but we hope that this will be offset by the benefits received by participating students and their institutions. Deadline for student applications is the 17^th May 2013.

If you have capacity at your institution, we would be delighted to have you and your students as part of the programme.
