The program was voluntarily applied by ten elementary teachers from Surin province, Thailand. The program included competency assessment, EFL competency enhancement, EFL teaching activities development and practices, and program evaluation. The activity created positive impacts to the EFL teaching particularly students in the program asserted that there is a better environment of EFL study than their previous experiences. All directors have assigned their EFL teachers to continue using this model in teaching EFL.
