On Tuesday, May 10, 2022, Chulalongkorn University\u2019s Office of International Affairs hosted a meeting on collaborations between Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Education, and the Master\u2019s Program in TESL at Singapore University of Social Sciences (SUSS), School of Humanities and Behavioural Sciences. The agenda concerns faculty\/student exchange, research collaboration, and a double degree program. While the Faculty of Education is considering the double degree master\u2019s program in TEFL, the Faculty of Arts\u2019 Program in Foreign Languages (English) is likely to settle for staff\/student exchange programs, research collaboration, and guest speaker invitations.\u00a0The partnership is promising as all parties are able to contribute. The SUSS is also interested in language assessment. Thus, it is suggested that Chulalongkorn University Language Institute be invited to get involved.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants in the discussion included the OIA team led by Dr. Ram Piyaket, Director, Asst. Prof. Pornpimol Sukavatee, representing the MA program in TEFL, Faculty of Education, and Asst. Prof. Nirada Chitrakara, representing the Faculty of Arts and the MA Program in Foreign Languages (English). Representing SUSS were Assoc. Prof. Ludwig Tan, Dean, School of Humanities and Behavioural Sciences, Assoc. Prof. Calvin Chan, Director, Office of Graduate Studies (OGS), Dr. Fang Zheng, Faculty supporting OGS for internationalisation of\u202fgraduate programmes, and Assoc. Prof. Soe Marlar Lwin, Head, Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics (TESOL) Programme. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
SUSS\u2019 School of Humanities and Behavioural Sciences offers Graduate Diploma and Master of Arts in Applied Linguistics (TESOL) providing foundation and practical skills needed for a career in language teaching and related careers.\u00a0Part of SUSS\u2019s mission is to support lifelong education and to transform society through social sciences.
