SEA-Teacher

The SEA Teacher Project or the “Pre-Service Student Teacher Exchange in Southeast Asia” is a project that aims to provide opportunity for pre-service student teachers from universities in Southeast Asia to have teaching experiences (practicum) in schools in other countries in Southeast Asia.

Based on the SEAMEO seven priority areas for the eleven SEAMEO Member countries to work together to improve the quality of education in Southeast Asia, “Revitalizing Teacher Education” is one of the priority areas in building and strengthening capacity of teachers in the region.

The Objectives of the Project:

To enable pre-service student teachers to develop their teaching skills and pedagogy
To encourage the pre-service student teachers to practice their English skills
To allow the pre-service student teachers to gain a broader regional and world view
To expose future teachers to diverse teaching and learning situations and opportunities, and the value of flexibility.

Why did I join SEA-Teacher Program?

I joined the SEA-Teacher program because I want to enhance my communication skills, my teaching skills and to improve myself. At first, I was hesitant to join this kind of program because it is an international program. Then I saw that this was an excellent opportunity for me to apply my teaching abilities in an actual classroom. I want to understand and adapt to diverse student needs, and develop effective classroom management techniques.

Moreover, it also provides opportunities for pre-service student teachers to receive feedback from mentor teachers which is helpful for continuous improvement. I want to experience this kind of program because it provides us with opportunities to learn, adapt, and develop essential skills for personal growth.

It allows the pre-service student teacher to identify their strengths and weaknesses and to ensure that they will be well-equipped and prepared to contribute in the field of education.
