2. Feedback for Thailand Program

3. Some Challenges – Thai Program
The staff who picked up in the airport cannot speak English
There was lack of communication between the university and the participants of SEA Teacher so sometimes students did not know what to do in the free time and there were some miscommunication about the schedule
There was no cooking facilities such as stove in the dormitory. Students got difficulty to find halal food near campus.
The location of the school is far from the dormitory

4. Solutions
Universities at least send one person who can speak English to pick up in the airport
Universities may provide a complete one month schedule to avoid confusion about the schedule
University may provide at least one small stove for the students in the dormitory
The placement of the SEA teacher should be close from the dormitory

Recommendation
Involve students from English Department to be student buddies.
To be efficient in time, money and energy, the school should be close to the dormitory
