Weekly EWS sessions
Useful language, conversation and guided practice, with options for younger learners and after-school learning.
CHONBURI · Familiar teachers. A fresh approach.
At EWS, children learn English and put it to use — to talk, create, solve problems and do things together.
Our story
For more than 15 years, EnglishWorkshop brought students and families together in Chonburi.
The stories, activities and shared discoveries are part of what we are bringing back. So is the pleasure of seeing children find something they want to say.
The new EWS gives that experience a clearer structure: learn useful English, share it with others, then use it in a new situation.

The new EWS approach
English becomes useful when children need it for something. Learn the language, practise together, then use it independently.
Understand it.
Learn useful words, sentence patterns and pronunciation through stories, games and guided practice.
How it worksHideA teacher models the language, helps with pronunciation and checks understanding.
A foundation your child can draw on when it is their turn to speak.
Try it together.
Ask, listen and share ideas with other children, with a teacher there to help.
How it worksHideChildren take turns, compare ideas and help each other complete a task.
Practice in making themselves understood and listening to understand others.
Make it your own.
Use what you know to make something, solve a challenge or respond when the situation changes.
How it worksHideA new question or small twist gives your child something to work out, with support when needed.
Growing independence: choosing the language, rather than simply copying it.
One possible lesson
Make a menu. Take an order. Work out what to say when something changes.
Learn food words and practise “Can I have…?” by choosing items for a simple menu.
Take turns as customer and server. Ask for an item, listen to the order and check you understood.
A favourite item has sold out. Can the customer choose something else? Can the server offer an alternative?
The learning to look for: listening, responding and adapting. The task, language and support are adjusted to age and level.
EWS through the years
A shared story, a cardboard creation, a small discovery. These moments from earlier EWS classes show the participation and curiosity we want to carry forward.
