Learning English effectively

Reading Saturday’s editorial made me reflect on rote teaching of English I received decades ago, before mobile phones or the Internet were around.
Fortunately, today’s school-age generation has the tech advantage, which would be more effective in learning English from a young age.
Chiang Rai students showed a marked improvement in English skills in just the first semester of the academic year after a smartphone-based course was used. The Office of the Basic Education Commission currently has a project to increase the amount of time spent on teaching English to Prathom students. This change would encourage students to better themselves in English because the duration of learning is an important factor. The success of this initiative will depend on how the learning process is developed given the shortage of English teachers across the country. The government is emphasising learning English as a second language. Such a programme needs financial support to develop teaching English effectively.
