TEACHING AND E-LEARNING PLATFORM
The Teaching and eLearning Platform (TeP) was implemented in 2009 to provide English language skills and TOEFL ITP exam preparation opportunities across Thailand-Burma border and inside Burma. In 2019 TeP has expanded to offer more educational opportunities to people across South East Asia.
EPOP: Exam Preparation Outreach Program
The Exam Preparation Outreach Program (EPOP) offers online courses to provide advanced English and TOEFL ITP exam preparation skills to individuals seeking to build their capacity in order to access university studies or advance in their career. Over the course of five months students are able to study one of three levels of English to update their reading, writing, speaking and listening skills. Essays and assignments are submitted online and receive feedback and advice from experienced tutors. Students also receive regular diagnostic testing to prepare for the official TOEFL ITP test. Through EPOP every year hundreds of students are able to gain the skills and qualifications they need to apply for university entrance and increase access to professional opportunities. 
EPPD: Reaching Out to the Future
Based on the successes of EPOP, Thabyay Education Network Foundation (TENF) is broadening the scope of their online educational services to offer eLearning Personal and Professional Development (EPPD). In 2018 TeP rolled out a new e-learning platform and added fresh new content. This platform is now home to EPOP and EPPD courses. Along with EPOP’s academic English studies and diagnostic testing, the new EPPD program offers self-study development opportunities in work skills such as writing a CV, job hunting, team work, budgeting, entrepreneurship and more, along with elementary English supported by either Burmese or Karen vocabulary translations. The EPPD program allows you to study at your own pace over a longer period of time at a very low cost. It is self-marking and you are in charge of your own learning. The updated e-learning platform is even more accessible by providing mobile options, and will enable Thabyay and TeP to continue building and supplying content and providing both local and remote communities with access to more educational opportunities and brighter futures. |
