Mon students are active learners.( Thailand) © Foundation for Applied Linguistics, Thailand
They learn to read and write in their MT, beginning with short and simple stories about people and places that are familiar and interesting to them. They learn how letters are put together to make words and how words are put together to make sentences. Their teacher encourages them to create their own“ picture stories” even before they can form letters and spell correctly— the first step in becoming confident and creative writers. They also practice writing MT letters, words and then sentences neatly and correctly.
