HUSO Boosts Students' Basic English Skills
Khon Kaen University's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences Hosts "Basic English: English for Communication" Training to Boost Students' Confidence in English Use
On September 16, 2023, Khon Kaen University's Thai Language Department of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, in partnership with English Corner, hosted a "Basic English: English for Communication" training at Smart Classroom (HS5304). The participants were the first-year, third-year, and fourth-year students preparing for their cooperative education programs next semester. Associate Professor Dr. Orathai Piayura, Dean of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences at Khon Kaen University, opened the session by sharing her experiences with learning English and motivating the students. Even as Thai language majors, cultivating English communication skills is vital for enhancing career prospects, travel experiences, and personal enrichment. Ms. Vanessa Moll, the Lecturer who oversees the English Corner project, led students through various exercises to improve pronunciation techniques and small talk conversational skills during both morning and afternoon sessions. Activities included games and role plays aimed at building confidence when speaking English and inspiring students to continue practicing the language in the future. Students expressed their eagerness for additional training sessions in the future. In response, Ms. Moll invited students to join English Hour, an ongoing event at the English Corner, to engage in conversation, games, and cooking activities while using English vocabulary. This initiative occurs every Wednesday and Thursday from 4:00 p.m. at the English Corner (Building HS.03) within Khon Kaen University's Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences.
