On 1 April 2013, the 1st Project Steering Committee was held for
the Project on Teaching Thai Language at Yangon University of Foreign
Languages (YUFL), co-chaired by Ms. Suchada Thaibunthao, Deputy
Director-General of Thailand International Development Cooperation
Agency (TICA), Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Thailand, and Dr. Lwin
Lwin Soe, Rector of YUFL.
The meeting reviewed
the past activities and discussed the work plan for 2013, which would
include postgraduate scholarships for lecturers, training on development
of teaching materials, dispatch of Thai language teaching assistants,
provision of teaching materials, and exchange of students.
On this occasion, TICA presented books to YUFL for use as
teaching materials, while YUFL presented gifts as token of appreciation
for the kind support and close cooperation.
Afterwards, Mr. Pisanu Suvanajata, Ambassador of Thailand to
Myanmar, hosted lunch for the Thai delegation and the YUFL team. Both
sides discussed additional activities which could be implemented to
celebrate the 65th Anniversary of the Establishment of Thailand-Myanmar
Diplomatic Relations.
YUFL opened
the Thai Language Department in 2010 with the support of Naresuan
University. Currently, there are around 300 students majoring in Thai
language. Each year, more students express their interests in studying
Thai language than YUFL can accommodate. Such increasing interest in
Thai language reflects not only the popularity of the language itself,
but also the business and career opportunities after graduation due to
increasing demand from the Thai private sector investing in Myanmar for
local staff who are fluent in Thai language.
