1. How many languages are there to study in Thailand?
First of all, language introduction.
Thai is the official language, and Thai is widely spoken by local people in Thailand. But it also attaches great importance to the trend of internationalization, so it introduces English as a second foreign language; Moreover, the relationship with China is very close and friendly, and the usage rate of Chinese is also very high.
1. Thailand
Naturally, our own language is still the main body of teaching. At least in Thailand, most majors in public universities are taught in Thai, so if our goal is public schools, we should start preparing Thai as early as possible.
2. English
Private colleges will set up bilingual teaching, one in Thai and the other in English, to improve the internationalization level of the school, so that everyone will have more choices, and English preparation will be much simpler than Thai, but everyone should confirm whether the major provides choices.
3. China people
In contrast, Chinese is not so popular, only in a few schools and majors. It is aimed at students who don't want to spend time learning another language, and they need to make sure that they have an advantage when they return to work in the future.
Second, the selection guide
You need to be interested in yourself, because language learning is not that difficult, but it has a great influence on learning. As we all know, no matter English or Thai, only if you are interested in the language will you have the motivation to learn.
Then there is the future career planning. After finishing their studies, whether to prepare for further study or employment, whether to stay in Thailand or return to China or go to other countries, the choice of language will have an impact on everyone's future. One more course and you'll have a choice.
Considering that employment should refer to the market demand, unless it is a very professional major, compound talents will be more popular in the market and language will become one of everyone's advantages, so it is necessary to learn one more subject.
At present, the teaching of Thai and English is relatively mature, Chinese will start late, and the current level is not enough, so you must be very careful when choosing, because these will directly affect your life.
2. Overview of the application process for studying in Thailand
1. Visiting and inspecting schools
Make an appointment to visit the school (advanced schools, register first, and then make an appointment to visit the school online by email. General schools need you to make an appointment in advance, or you can make an appointment by phone. After receiving the reply, visit the school according to the appointment time. The teacher of the Admissions Office will show you around the campus and then help you understand the relevant school information.
2. Submit the application materials online
After determining the school, you can submit the application materials. Schools generally have a perfect application process, just follow the tips and requirements. After receiving the submitted materials, the school will still communicate with parents by email if there are any imperfections. Remember to check the email and spam boxes from time to time.
Waiting for an interview notice
It takes a long time from applying to receiving the interview notice, at least one month or two is entirely possible.
Because Thais are slow to handle affairs, and more and more students apply, the admissions office is usually headed by two or three people, with an endless stream of visitors and hundreds of replies to emails every day.
Therefore, if it is normal to ignore you, it is recommended to send emails frequently to avoid being ignored. During the preparation, you can help your child prepare for the interview. Younger children don't have high requirements for English in the interview, so they can communicate simply.
However, the needs after the first day of junior high school have a certain foundation, and the interview includes listening, speaking, reading and even writing, which is more difficult than expected. So you must have a basic knowledge of English. But there are different degrees of differences between schools, so it depends on which school you choose. )
4. Interview results
After attending the school interview, there will be no immediate results, and it is normal to wait for a month or two. So I suggest you start applying at least six months in advance. The start of school in Thailand is generally in August, and a school year is divided into four semesters, with an average of two months as a semester.
5. Pay tuition and tuition, and keep the bill.
If the interview is successful, the school will inform you to pay the fee on time (the establishment fee and tuition fee can be paid in one academic year or one semester). After receiving the money, the school will mail you the expense receipt and the recommended materials needed for the visa (the documents and visa materials must be kept well and will be used when applying for a visa at the embassy in the future).
3. Why did you choose to study in Thailand?
1, developed education
Students are naturally more concerned about the education provided by the state. Whether there is a higher level will directly affect everyone's choice. The internal management and teaching of colleges and universities here are improved by comparing Europe and America, and the teaching is also in English.
The advantage of doing this is that it can be better in line with international standards, and theoretical preparations can be made in advance, so that the academic qualifications obtained will have higher recognition, the dual courses will also be widely recognized, and the teaching quality will be well guaranteed.
2. Widespread employment
Because the school's education and teaching are all in English, it will have an advantage over domestic students in language. Whether you go to the Asia-Pacific region or Europe and America, you will be more popular and have more choices when applying for a job than domestic students.
Moreover, studying in Thailand not only gains theoretical knowledge, but also gains the cultural customs of the country, so that you can better adapt to the needs of society, because there will be fewer obstacles to communication and it will be easier to concentrate on your work after you join the job.
3. Social security
Thailand's overall security is very high. Students living here can enjoy high-quality security, so that everyone can study and live here with peace of mind and enhance their awareness of self-protection, so as to better complete their tasks.
Social religious beliefs and government laws and regulations ensure safety. Buddhist belief makes most people more peaceful and friendly, and strict laws have always restricted their behavior to a certain extent and promoted it.
4. Simple admission
Compared with most European and American countries, the admission requirements of Thai universities are relatively simple. As long as everyone can meet the requirements, they can enter directly. Even if you fail in your studies or language, you can choose a preparatory school or a language school.
However, after entering the school, everyone needs to start studying hard, so that everyone can pass the exam smoothly, complete the learning tasks of the course better and graduate smoothly.
4. Safety precautions for studying in Thailand
1, safe accommodation
Accommodation options for international students include boarding, renting and boarding. However, I suggest you choose the school dormitory, because the security is excellent.
If you rent a house by yourself, you must strictly check the surrounding environment and don't open the door to strangers when you are alone; Choosing a host family requires a survey of family members to understand their personalities.
2. Driving safety
After arriving in Thailand, everyone needs to know more about the traffic and accommodation around the school, consciously avoid some places with potential safety hazards, and be familiar with the usual traffic routes.
If you take a bus or taxi, you must tell your friends or family the license plate number of your car, so that if something goes wrong, you can have a clear direction to look for it, just in case.
3. Social security
Making friends and socializing should be an important part of everyone's daily life, but when socializing, everyone needs to be vigilant, don't disclose their private information to people who are not very familiar with it, and be vigilant when acquaintances ask for private information.
In addition, in various occasions, don't accept food or drinks handed over by others casually, because you can't guarantee whether there are "ingredients" in these things, so the way is to politely refuse.
4. Legal aspects
Finally, we need to know the relevant laws and regulations. When encountering unfair treatment, remember to take up legal weapons to protect yourself. The Thai government's protection of international students is still relatively perfect.
In addition, remember some emergency calls.
5. How to arrange after-school time for studying in Thailand?
1, library
Learning is still the main part of everyone's spare time arrangement, and everyone should allocate 30% of their time to the library. On the one hand, there will be a lot of homework and papers to write, which will improve the efficiency of doing homework in the library.
On the other hand, the library has a large number of books, which can meet everyone's reading needs. You know, studying in Thailand requires a lot of reading, but the number of books borrowed by everyone is limited. Reading in a better overall environment is more suitable for everyone.
2. Sports ground
Besides studying, exercise is also essential. Healthy body will not delay everyone's normal study, so I suggest you go to the playground more. Even running and playing ball is better than staying in the dormitory or classroom.
University gymnasiums and playgrounds are well equipped, with independent swimming pools, and most of the facilities are free to use. These things are everyone's legitimate rights and interests, so don't waste them.
Step 3: dormitory
Besides sleeping, students who live on campus or share a room spend a lot of time with their roommates. If you want to have a good relationship with your roommates, you must communicate with them more and talk to them more. When you are in trouble, you can ask someone for help.
Students who live alone should also pay attention to their own accommodation environment, and can carry out simple transformation. However, their lives are more comfortable and creating a good accommodation environment can make them feel better.
Step 4 unite
Don't join the club at will. Going back with a bunch of prizes doesn't mean that you are well-informed and popular. Instead, we should choose the best among the best, choose what we are interested in as a long-term hobby in life and keep it.
Besides studying and socializing, you need a little free time and space of your own. Can fall in love, can travel, can find a quiet corner in a daze. Don't waste your time on meaningless games. Only by making your study abroad wonderful can you ensure that it is meaningful.
