Nation U launches English camp for students

The two-day camp kicked off yesterday under the concept “Colour Your Life and Colour Your English” in a ceremony presided over by Nation Multimedia Group’s editor-in-chief Thepchai Yong.
As part of the introduction, senior students led their younger schoolmates in an English-language sing-along session. The camp requires participants to communicate in English at all times.
“Newsline” is one of the six learning zones set up to help students learn about reporting. Students get to work in groups with one being chosen to play the part of a reporter, while the rest become the subject. This fun, roleplaying session aims to help students get comfortable with the English language.
Titecha Promsu, a lecturer from Nation U’s International Language Institute, said the camp was aimed at helping students lose their fear of the English language by getting them to participate in fun activities so they learn the language is not as difficult as they think. She also urged students to try and use English in their daily lives.
Nation U in Bangkok’s Bang Na district will also hold an open house on Sunday from 9am to noon for students who have already applied for places at the university as well as those who are interested to see classes conducted by professionals.
