Some of these pictures show the skit that we required all 24 Thai English teachers to produce. The teachers were in 4 teams of six and wore their team colors around their head, neck, arm, or leg. The skit was entitled "Teaching English in Thailand". We thought that they would spend one hour at the most and then take advantage of the fact that we gave them 4 hours. They were so enthusiastic (and competitive), that they spent the entire 4 hours (skipping coffee and snack breaks) preparing the skit. We told them that the skit has to be in English, which is a little scary when you consider thast most of them have very limited English speaking skills. The skits were both inventive and hilarious!!! The other pictures show competitions we set up. Basic English instruction words were used to demonstrate how students could learn English by doing a project. We were amazed at the ingenuity the teachers demonstrated as well as the competive nature that seemed to conflict with our predisposed understanding of Buddhism.
