Teaching Writing in Rural Thailand: Considering New Perspectives.
Toh, Glenn
TESL Canada Journal, v17 n2 p101-09 Spr 2000
Describes a workshop for teachers in rural Thailand to consider new perspectives in teaching writing in English. Teachers were participants in a certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign language (TEFL) program course sponsored by the Canadian International Development Agency. The genre approach to writing is proposed as a way of helping teachers look beyond structural elements such as vocabulary, punctuation, and spelling. (Author/VWL)
