Suankularb Wittayalai Thonburi School has launched a pioneering initiative to integrate Artificial Intelligence (AI) into English language learning, in collaboration with CBC Education Co., Ltd. and ELSA Company Limited—developer of the world-renowned AI-powered English speaking app, ELSA Speak, based in the United States. This marks a significant milestone in applying AI innovation to enhance the Thai education system.
Dr. Sarayut Rattanapanya , Director of Suankularb Wittayalai Thonburi, stated: "Our school places strong emphasis on both technology and foreign language education to equip students for the global stage in the 21st century. We already offer AI & Robotics courses, a variety of special classroom programs, and employ over 40 native-speaking teachers. Yet we continue to innovate and explore new methods to maximize the effectiveness of learning. By introducing AI technology like ELSA into our curriculum, we aim to bridge classroom learning gaps, enabling students to practice English independently while exploring English vocabulary and subject-specific content in fields they’re passionate about—helping them prepare for higher education and future careers.”
