English and Science Faculty Members Collaborate to Organize English Pronunciation Workshop for EMI Instructors
On November 5, 2026, Asst. Prof. Dr. Patcharee Imsri from the English Program, School of Liberal Arts, and Assistant Professor Dr. Curt Hrad Barnes from the Biology Program, School of Science, conducted a workshop titled “English Pronunciation for Thai Lecturers.” The session was attended by seven faculty members from various schools and was held in Meeting Room 2 of the Research Building at Walailak University.
This training program aims to enhance the capabilities of instructors in English pronunciation—ensuring it is accurate, clear, and natural—while also boosting their confidence in using English for instructional purposes. This is particularly relevant for teaching through the medium of English (English as a Medium of Instruction, or EMI), where pronunciation skills serve as a vital component that enables instructors to effectively convey content and communicate with students, minimize misunderstandings, and foster a positive learning environment in classrooms where English is the language of instruction.
