Thailand

Want to Teach English in Thailand?

LanguageCorps' Programs provides the perfect introduction to Thailand – a land of beautiful beaches, plummeting waterfalls, gilded temples, mouthwatering food, and smiling, gentle people. Program participants are regularly placed in paid teaching positions throughout the country, and demand for English teachers remains consistently strong.

Training & Certification Programs

LanguageCorps offers the following Programs in Thailand:

Each program is summarized below, and further details can be found by clicking the appropriate program link.

Participants in all Asia programs (Cambodia, China, Thailand, and Vietnam) begin their adventure at our training facility in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, before traveling to their destination country. This allows participants in all 4 programs to:

  • Meet participants from other programs – extending their LanguageCorps network and making great contacts for future travel or vacations
  • Participate in our most popular excursion to Angkor Wat
  • Consider the option of switching to a different country for their teaching
  • Learn about the options for obtaining an advanced degree and receiving academic credit for LanguageCorps TESOL training

At the conclusion of the joint training in Cambodia, Thailand program participants travel to Thailand for in-country training and practice teaching at our training facility in Pattaya.

The chart below describes what is included in each of the programs in Thailand.

Assistance included as needed and requested: resume development, scheduling interviews, transportation to interviews, job selection, school contracts, and housing.

2. Job-placement assistance in other, specific areas. LanguageCorps staff/alumni living in popular areas such as Chiang Mai and Koh Chang are often available to assist you in finding a job. If you fell in love with a certain area during the "country exploration" trips, LanguageCorps will work to help you find a job there.

3. Explore a new region of Thailand, using the skills you learned in LanguageCorps training. Create your own, unique experience – trusting that LanguageCorps advice and support are just a phone call away.
