L&S News & Notes is a monthly blog and e-newsletter for faculty,
staff, graduate students and alumni and friends of the UW-Madison 
to expand. | Thai Reader now online |
Professor Robert Bickner (Thai) along with his colleagues have just published Thai Reader, an online text book consisting of 76 lessons based on authentic Thai texts.
This is the first new reading text for Thai in 40 years and is a departure from earlier materials in basing lessons on the sorts of reading materials that students of Thai encounter in daily life.
The text was written by a team of five experienced Thai teachers: Robert
J. Bickner, Patcharin Peyasantiwong, Kannikar Elbow, Sidhorn Sangdhanoo, and
Janpanit Surasin. More about the contributors here.
The effort was funded by the U.S. Department of Education and is available free of charge for download from the web at http://readingthai.wisc.edu/
