EIS Association of Thailand was established from school principals and teachers that used a model of bilingual education in which students learn core subjects (Mathematics, Science and Computer) in English from local poverty schools. Students will learn to understand more English through their basic knowledge and literacy of core subjects which are integrated into the new curriculum. Basic literacy of Mathematical Symbol and Methodology(MM Model), and the Science learning skills (observation, comparison, classification, transferring and inferring as Observing Knowledge Model (OK model)) lead to better comprehension of the second language. Online computer and software resources allow both students and teachers self-direction in learning. With the use of SSF( Simple, Short, Familiar) English as a medium of instruction, the fluency of both teachers and students in English as a second language will be accelerated. EIS approach is not only teaching the students about the concepts of the lessons, not only letting them learn and understand the content of the subjects, but more so training (http://sites.google.com/site/eistrainingth) the teachers on how to utilize their basic learning experiences and teaching skills to be use in teaching English content textbooks following the EIS model. These were the EIS 4 Assumptions
"1. Learners are able to effectively learn the second language from their mother tongue, symbolic language, and their closely related environment, such that Short(S), Simple(S) and Familiar(F) so we call it SSF model.
2. If the instructor arranges the learners to practice reading and writing with the English language by using science learning skills, (Observing Knowledge (OK) Model learning skill, observation, comparison, classification, transferring and inferring,) it will lead to the increase of the learners’ ability in reading-writing and reading comprehension in English.
3.If the instructor constructs his lessons in a way that lets the learners connect the notions to the English language through analysis and mathematical problem solving, This MM Model (Mathematical Methodology Model) promotes an easier and faster way to increase the learner's English comprehension.
4. If the instructors use English enough in classroom interactions, it leads to the learner recognizing and understanding English more quickly."
