🌟 Academic English in Action | Empowering Educators for Confident Academic Communication

On 19–20 September 2026, the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University, in collaboration with the Institute of International Education (IIE), organized the professional development workshop for teachers and education professionals entitled:

“Academic English in Action: Integrated Skills for Confident Communication in an Academic Setting”

The two-day workshop was held at the Faculty of Liberal Arts, Thammasat University, Tha Prachan Campus, Bangkok.

The opening ceremony was honored by Dr. Jonathan Lembright, IIE Regional Director for Southeast Asia, and Assoc. Prof. Dr. Suphawat Pookcharoen, Director of Academic Affairs, who warmly welcomed the participants and officially opened the workshop. Their remarks highlighted the importance of strengthening the professional capacity of teachers and education professionals, particularly in developing academic English skills and enhancing teaching and learning practices in response to the evolving demands of international education.

Throughout two full days of interactive learning, participants engaged in hands-on activities designed to develop integrated English-language skills across Listening, Speaking, Reading, and Writing, with a strong emphasis on practical techniques and strategies that can be effectively applied in both classroom and academic settings.

The workshop was led by Dr. Francis Chan, TOEFL ITP Specialist and ETS-certified Trainer for Southeast Asia, who shared his expertise, practical techniques, and extensive experience through engaging and highly participatory activities connected to authentic communication and academic contexts.

Participants explored a wide range of skills, including identifying main ideas and supporting details in listening, using English grammatical structures accurately, developing analytical reading skills, organizing ideas from academic texts, and improving pronunciation, stress, rhythm, and intonation. They also learned how to apply these techniques and activities to build greater confidence in communicating effectively in academic settings.

In addition, the TOEFL ITP® test was selectively incorporated as a practical case example to connect the development of listening, structure and written expression, and reading skills. This helped participants gain a clearer understanding of how English-language skill development can be effectively integrated with systematic language assessment.

One component that distinguishes the Ocean Futures Fellowship is that in addition to the Fellows’ everyday work, the program provides ongoing support through both cohort-wide and individual sessions. Through Fellows Connect—a monthly session facilitated by IIE—our fellows gather to explore leadership, exchange ideas, and build collaborative solutions to drive lasting impact in the ocean space. 🌊✨

This month, Fellows met to discuss Values Clarification, a pivotal skill all leaders should possess. By defining their core principles, our fellows are aligning their personal mission with their ocean conservation work to lead with intentionality, integrity, and purpose. 💙⚓
