According to her experience, it is quite difficult to teach English to the students right there. Maybe it is because the students are not common and familiar with English. So, even she teaches by the easiest and simplest way, they are still difficult to understand it. But, fortunately, in every class there are two or three students who good in English. So, they can help the other students to understand it. Although it is difficult for the students to understand what she teaches, the students have a strong willing and hard work to be able in English. The other experience she gets are the diciplince and the nationalism of Thai people.
According to her, being an English teacher right there is prospective because the teachers are being respectied very much. Besides, English teachers are very needed right there. The English teacher should not only be able to speak English but also should be able to speak Bahasa Indonesia and Arabic.
