Broken English
Now I have noticed on this web site there seems to be people who take it on them selves to be the word POLICE, I have had my own English corrected so many times, If some thing is spelt incorrectly, if you don't know what the word is, that just shows me that your English is so poor you cannot understand incorrect spelling.
In Sydney Australia I have to understand herds of different migrants and there English problems, I have to decipher, there bad grammar, there poor pronunciation and there bad spelling. That makes me an expert on English, more so than some chain learnt university trained teacher from the USA or England. So for this reason next time I go to Thailand, If excepted I will be going back to school in Paknam Samut Prakan, to give an English language lesion on how to decipher Broken English, as I can impersonating people from every ethnic group,, When you travel the world, your not going to here articulated English speech like you see on TV from native English speakers, like my self, what your going to here is broken English And that in Australia is English from people who are not from your country and which English is not there first language.
Now when I was in Thailand This March I realized the Thai people's English is to be quite honest very poor compared with my recent visit to that other none English country Sweden.
To me I see all these Thai schools giving paid jobs to some English native speaker with a university degree, who very well may have no charisma to inspire kids into learning, But I guarantee some one with charisma with no degree in English like Actor Steve Erwin the Crocodile hunter could inspirer more English language skills in one day then some graduate could in one month. I think the selection criteria for teachers in Thailand is to much academic and not enough practical, you should get out of the class room and get onto the street.
I think Thailand could get an award for broken English ability, there level of English is way below countries like the Philippines which has an economy who's average per capiter income is half that of Thailand.
Personally I don't have the time to teach Thai people English more for any more than a week and it would not be financially worth my time even if I did have a degree, But I think the Thai people should look at Paying more charismatic native speaker, to get a better class of English teacher, and to stop procrastinating on if they have a degree or not, that way more schools would have teachers. It would have to be better than using some of there own paid none native English teachers as some of there broken English is so bad, if I did not have broken English skills I would not understand them, just to think these teachers are teaching, Thai students to speak a Thai form of broken English, and the Thai government is willing to waist money on these people just because they have a degree,
Thailand wake up Just use charismatic native speaker and don't waist your time on some home grown teacher that cannot speak English, just because they have a degree. The degree is secondary in importance and your not going to get native speaking volunteers in every school if your not going to pay them, not every school has a world famous web site to attract teachers for free.
