Tom Knutson, Communication Studies, spent the semester break in Thailand doing research at Bangkok University and teaching at Ramkhamhaeng University. While in Thailand, Knutson visited the five Sacramento State students currently serving as English language assistants at the Chitralada Royal Palace School. In light of the performance of the Sacramento State students, Chitralada officials have requested a fifth group to serve during the 2010-11 academic year. Students receive round-trip airfare, accommodations and a monthly stipend during their stay in Bangkok. Application procedures for the next group will be announced later this year.
