Abstract

In both teaching and observing Thai tertiary class I have found many problems. In this paper I would like to point out these problems and make suggestions to deal with them. The following problem areas are pragmatically discussed : 1. The use of the student's native language in the classroom. 2. The student's expectations of what it means to learn to converse. 3. Talking about language in the classroom. 4. The over-use of the textbook in the classroom. 5. Activating the students.
