University students with an interest in communications, education and English language instruction as well as international travel and cultures are encouraged to attend an informational meeting to learn more about the Chitralada Royal Palace School in Bangkok, Thailand on Tuesday, Oct. 7 at 1 p.m. in Sequoia Hall 142.
This marks the fourth year that the Chitralada Royal Palace School had requested Sacramento State students to assist in their English language program, a testament to the quality of Sacramento State students, according to program director and Communication Studies professor Thomas Knutson.“In previous years, two Sacramento State students, Communication Studies majors Casey Mayville and Maria Xiong, were honored with ‘Teacher of the Year’ awards at Chitralada.”
Participating students will be employed as guest teachers at the Chitralada Royal Palace School situated within the grounds of one of the royal residences in Bangkok. Besides the excitement of traveling overseas, students will be provided round-trip airfare, a $400 monthly salary, room and board, opportunities to earn additional income by undertaking evening tutoring and the ability to travel within Thailand during free time.
Interested students are urged to attend the informational meeting. Applications and additional information are available in the Communication Studies and English offices. For more information, contact Knutson at 278-6941.
