Part Three:PersonalPerspectives on CULI’s40th Anniversary

60 CULI’s 40th Anniversary PERSONAL PERSPECTIVES On the occasion of the fortieth anniversary of CULI, I am delighted to share my memorable experiences as a longtime member of the teaching staff. During the past four decades, I have seen CULI develop into a powerhouse in ELT, a teaching institution consisting of staff of high calibre, devotion and strong commitment to English language education. All members have worked collaboratively and laboriously towards a common goal: producing effective English language communicators. Given its expanded mission, I have also seen CULI make steady progress to achieve excellence not only in teaching, but assessment, research and services to society in general. To me, CULI is a vibrant learning community in which staff, old and new, are here to share and learn from each other. I am proud to be part of this institute, having witnessed its ever-increasing growth. Therefore, on this auspicious occasion, I wish CULI greater achievements and success in the promotion of English in the future. Supanee Chinnawongs Full-time instructor (1980-present)

To me, CULI is like my second home. Through the 26 years since CULI’s 40th Anniversary 61becoming a member of this prestigious institution, I have been grantedmany hard-to-come-by opportunities – the opportunity to do what I lovefor a living, the opportunity to grow academically and professionally, and,most importantly, the opportunity to pay back Chulalongkorn Universityand the community for the privilege of being a member of the universityfaculty. I am immensely grateful for the richness of intellectual culture thatCULI has kindly provided me.On this auspicious occasion, I sincerely hope CULI will maintain its roleas a source of academic excellence in English language instruction andtesting and evaluation to help contribute to Chulalongkorn University’svision to be a fount of knowledge and reference and a guiding light forthe sustainable progress of the country. I would like to express mycongratulations on CULI’s past achievements and best wishes forcontinued success for years and years to come! Punchalee Wasanasomsithi Full-time instructor (1991-present)I joined CULI as a part-time instructor thirteen years ago in 2004 andthen as a full-time instructor in 2005. I’ve since grown from an inexperiencedEnglish teacher to a more knowledgeable one thanks to those around me.Not only are the fellow teachers and supporting staff at CULI individualsof high caliber, they are also nice enough to lend me a hand wheneverI’m in need of help. Most notable are the kind-hearted people I’vemet who have always been there to support me through both good timesand bad. Without CULI, I wouldn’t have met those great people. Withoutthem, I wouldn’t have become the teacher I am today. And by that I’mtouched and to them I will be forever grateful. I hope CULI will remaina place where great minds produce new generations of great minds foryears to come. Rananda Rungnaphawet Full-time instructor (2005-present)

62 CULI’s 40th Anniversary Working at CULI has provided me with tremendous opportunities to be engaged in a variety of challenging administrative tasks and extra-curricular activities, apart from teaching English. My strong impression about CULI is the coworkers – both teaching and support staff – and their unstinting goodwill and support for one another. There is always someone for everyone to turn to on a bad day. It is a friendly and pleasant work environment. At CULI, I have developed both hard and soft skills – lead- ership, teamwork, and problem solving abilities to name a few. As for the teaching part, I am fortunate to have a chance to meet different groups of students in various fields of study every semester. I could not have asked for a better career than being an instructor here. Rawiwan Buppanhasamai Full-time instructor (2005-present) To talk about what the Chulalongkorn University Language Institute means to me, I would start by looking at what it hopes to accomplish. The major goals of CULI are to encourage sharing, growth, and development – not only of language skills and knowledge, but of people as a whole, for, after all, as author Melinda Marchetta noted, “without our language, we have lost ourselves. Who are we without our words?” These important objectives are set not only for the students whom we teach, but for those of us who work here as well. Being a part of CULI has shown me that every day is a wonderful opportunity, as well as a call to arms, to fulfill these goals. Onuma Lakarnchua Full-time instructor (2007-present)

I have been part of CULI since 1999, and it has been a wonderful 18 CULI’s 40th Anniversary 63year-experience working here. Over the years I have been involved invarious kinds of duties and that is how I know how professional andhardworking CULI faculty members and staff are, while at the same timebeing caring and supportive. At CULI we work hard and we are very goodat multitasking as our work always presents new challenges. Many thingshave changed since the day I started working here and there will alwaysbe more changes to come, but one thing that remains the same is thatwe all will continue to work hard and know that our achievements dependon our cooperation and teamwork. Chatraporn Piamsai Full-time instructor (1999-present)My life at CULI started 8 years ago on the 1st of May, Labor Day inThailand. So many colleagues mocked jokingly that I must be workingvery hard for sure. And yes, it is true. I do. We all do! But it’s not in anonerous way at all. CULI’s staff includes many intelligent, collegial andcaring people and that’s what’s good about it as there are many people Ican learn from. Turning 40 this year, CULI has experienced its ups anddowns. For me, if CULI were a person, it would be a kind-hearted parentwho lets me try things on my own while watching my back, who tells meconstructively when I’m wrong, and offers opportunities for me to reachthe world through the medium of English. On this occasion, I would liketo thank and wish CULI the very best ahead and hope that we allcontinue to keep it moving forward as we have always done. Karuna Naphon Full-time instructor (2009-present)

64 CULI’s 40th Anniversary Having worked here for almost two years, I would say that I am very fortunate to be a member of CULI and grateful for all the great opportunities CULI has offered to me. I have learned and experienced a number of wonderful things I would not have been able to if I had not joined this organization. Effective teamwork, academic excellence, and integrity are some of the values that I have come to appreciate and hold dear since I started working here. Most recently, I was sponsored by CULI to attend the 52nd RELC International Conference from March 13-15, 2017 in Singapore, where I had an opportunity to explore new research trends and teaching perspectives which I can apply to my teaching and research. On the very special occasion of CULI’s 40th anniversary, I would like to extend my most sincere congratulations to every CULI lecturer and staff member who has tirelessly and diligently contributed to the success of Chulalongkorn University Language Institute. Seehhazzakd Rojanaapichatsakul Full-time instructor (2016-present) When I first heard of CULI, I was not quite certain of what to expect. I had heard people speak positively of Chulalongkorn University whenever I had been in Thailand. However, I was unsure as to how things would compare with universities and teaching philosophies in Australia. After a few months at CULI, things started to become clearer. After a year, I realised how extensive the range of courses offered was and how talented the group of teachers on staff. Most striking was the diversity of the courses, from English for medical and law students, through to those specifically for pharmacy, architecture and business. It is a testimony to the professionalism and skill of all CULI’s teachers that such a curriculum is not only designed and delivered, but done so very well. Having now been at CULI for several years, I am happy to say that the same high educational standards I knew in Australia exist here. Marc Darlington International instructor (2012-present)

Coming to CULI from having worked at Wall Street -Thailand was a CULI’s 40th Anniversary 65pretty big change for me. I went directly from teaching small groups ofoffice workers at Wall Street’s corporate centers to teaching large groupsof young adults here at Chula. It was a transition that took a little gettingused to but I soon came to appreciate both the challenges and rewardsthat teaching at university offers. I feel fortunate to have the opportunityto teach English in such a wide range of contexts and to students ofvarious majors. I also appreciate the support I’ve received from coworkersat CULI. Whenever I’ve had questions, staff, both teaching and support,have always taken time out of their busy day to assist. Such support andthe overall experience of teaching at Chulalongkorn University has helpedkeep the experience fresh for me – so much so that it’s hard to believethat I’ve now been working here for 10 years. Richard Lemarie International instructor (2007-present)Teaching is accompanied by learning and at the Chulalongkorn UniversityLanguage Institute, we are involved in a variety of faculties thatpresent us with challenges. Those I have encountered are mitigated bythe incredible people I work with thanks to the spirit of teamwork andshared goals of inspiring and motivating students. Working with both Thaiand International teachers not only makes our responsibilities manageablebut opens doors to new learning opportunities.When I joined CULI, one of the challenges we faced was the students’reluctance to engage in conversation in English. The Self Access LearningCenter is a testimony to how collaboration and dedication among CULIteachers and staff can lead to change. Starting with “Conversation Hour”,the number of activities and the amount of student participation increased.After a couple of years, some who had participated returned to say “thankyou”, having been accepted to study abroad with language skills andconfidence improved.This is just one of the rewards of teaching at CULI. Zeny Ehrlich International instructor (2009-April 2017)

66 CULI’s 40th Anniversary Congratulations to the Chulalongkorn University Language Institute (CULI) on its 40th anniversary. I joined CULI in 1981 when CULI was one of the first university-based English language institutes. Since then, CULI has pioneered English language teaching. The institute also plays a seminal role in professional development of teachers throughout Thailand. CULI was instrumental in establishing Thailand TESOL, Thailand’s only association for English language teaching professionals. Professor Toemsakdi Krishnamra, then Director of CULI, was the association’s first President. At CULI’s annual conferences, teachers learn about global trends in English language instruction. CULI has received numerous grants from the Office of the Higher Education Commission and Regional English Language Office of the US to support local/regional projects, including symposia/seminars with leading universities and the Lower Mekong Initiative English project.   I wholeheartedly congratulate CULI for its contributions to English language education. I urge the Institute to continue along this bright path. Developing workforce English competency will be key to Thailand’s ability to increase global competitiveness. Suchada Nimmannit Retired instructor Director of Rangsit English Language Institute, Rangsit University A melting pot of enthusiastic, competent and intelligent people A place of opportunities, challenges and changes The pioneer of the Kingdom in ELT This is CULI in my eyes. With different attitudes and visions, but united in our goals, CULI has marched forward. During my 30 years, I watched friends and colleagues become leaders in ELT, bringing fame to our institute, university and, of course, Thailand. We can proudly say we have pioneered Thailand’s English language teaching, be it in courses in English for Specific Purposes or the CU-TEP and CU-AAT examinations. CULI continues to develop teaching methodologies for grammar, translation, and task-based online

learning, teacher training and many more. CULI also allowed me to CULI’s 40th Anniversary 67pursue my passion for English debate, Asian and British ParliamentaryFormats. I have been able to found Chulalongkorn University DebateSociety, teaching Thai teachers and students how to “replace weaponswith words, logic and love,” and for this, I am grateful. Piyanart Faktorngpan Retired instructor Former Deputy Director for International Affairs Expert to National Commission on Human Rights on The Rights of Children and EducationI would like to express my heartfelt congratulations to the ChulalongkornUniversity Language Institute (CULI) on the 40th anniversary. As a formerfaculty member who worked for 35 years at the institute, starting in itsearly years, I have seen CULI grow from a healthy infant to a strongmature person. In a human being’s life, forty years usually marks a timewhen a person is firmly established with experience, social recognitionand financial security. The Chulalongkorn University Language Instituteis already the most prestigious language institution of higher learning inThailand and is also recognized internationally through its persistent effortsto create excellent English language programs for its students and thepublic. Yet, CULI is still young and has more energy to go further to aneven brighter future. An outstanding institution cannot be built overnight.During the past forty years, CULI’s place as a leading language institutionhas been secured through the hard work and selfless devotion of manypeople. I am delighted to say that I have been proud to be a part of thisreputable institution. It is my sincere hope to see continued success atthe Chulalongkorn University Language Institute. Prakaikaew Opanon-amata Former Deputy Director for International Affairs Former Deputy Director for Research Retired instructor Assistant to the President, Navamindradhiraj University (2015-present)

68 CULI’s 40th Anniversary CULI gave me more than a job, or job security, for that matter. I have learned a lot working for CULI: individualization – a form of programmed learning with the provision of self-pacing, communicative approach, self-access learning, standardized tests, experiential English etc., to name a few, whatever is the name of the game at that point. CULI then gave me the opportunities to try my ideas and make myself useful teaching, and working on test-writing and translation service assignments. Without CULI support, I definitely would not have learned as much. CULI was also where I met many valuable friends and colleagues, young and old. I have now retired, but considering how much time one spends at work, CULI has undoubtedly been a big part of my life. I also have to say ‘a big happy part.’ In this way, how can I not love CULI and have only the best wishes for CULI as the institute as well as for all those working for CULI always. Ubolrat Thengtrirat Retired instructor In my opinion, CULI has enjoyed such success not because of its budget but because of its academic human resources. CULI’s staff are so professional because they are carefully selected. When I applied for a job here more than 30 years ago, in addition to an applicant having to graduate with honors or study abroad where English was the first language, applicants had to pass the most rigorous English tests and observation. After I started working here I came to truly appreciate the working environment. I realized that there was not excessive competitiveness among the teaching staff. Instead, the mixture of teamwork and independence at CULI allowed us to work in harmony. Our achievements were a product of a team work—and were not a patchwork, but always a well woven fabric. As a result, I am proud and happy to be able to have been part of the teaching staff at CULI. Krongkeo Kannasoot Retired instructor

Dear CULI CULI’s 40th Anniversary 69After retirement, whenever I come to Chula I can’t help stopping by tosay hello. It’s more than 30 years that I have worked with you! You stilllook beautiful, cheerful, lively and smart.When I think back to my days here, I realize that I have always beensurrounded by many good things. I see beautiful and smart friends walkingto and from faculties, hands laden with teaching materials but still smiling.I hear greetings, laughing, talking from the common room, peoplesharing food and stories and I can’t help joining them happily.Here, two words come to mind: chance and choice.The chance to impart knowledge and experience to others each year. And choice: we choose our own office, where we can enjoy the peace ofour quiet corner before and after teaching.  We also choose our schedules,subjects and sometimes, even students.At the age of forty, you look mature and established. I wish you more andmore prosperous and productive years ahead. Thank you CULI Parichat Choochotkaew Retired instructorWhenever I sit back and reminisce, fond memories come to mind of mydays working for over 34 years at the Chulalongkorn University LanguageInstitute.CULI had a very humble beginning with a small work force. I was one ofthe first group of seven newly-fledged young instructors who passed therecruitment process and joined CULI in 1978.I remember how we persevered together despite the difficulty of our task.Our first challenge was to prepare teaching materials for the first, secondand third year students of the Faculties of Engineering, Political Science,and Commerce and Accountancy. With Professor Toemsakdi Krishnamra,whom we affectionately called “father”, experts from the British Councilhelped us in material preparation, teaching methodology and staffdevelopment.Over the years, CULI has grown tremendously and has assumed aremarkable role in the ELT world, fulfilling its challenging mission for

70 CULI’s 40th Anniversary academic excellence. In addition, the institute has collaborated with many local and international institutes, universities and organizations in various projects. I feel privileged to have had the opportunity to work closely with a group of highly capable Thai and international scholars and colleagues. Commitment, dedication and consideration are core characteristics of CULI staff. With pride, I can say that a strong tie of love and friendship remains in our hearts. On this auspicious occasion, I would like to extend my sincere congratulations for CULI’s 40th anniversary. I also wish CULI administrators as well as all staff, continued happiness and success. Wattanawan Sanguanruang Former Deputy Director for International Affairs Retired instructor With over three decades of working at CULI, I can honestly say that it has been more like a second home to me than just a place of work. CULI has continually motivated me to become a better version of myself. I have found lifetime friends, young and old, among my colleagues, and we have shared our happiness as well as sorrow, and supported one another along the path of lifelong friendship. I am and will always be eternally grateful to CULI. Engtip Rattarungsri Retired instructor

Part-time teaching at CULI has been one of the happiest activities for me CULI’s 40th Anniversary 71since my early retirement in 2012. Like all lecturers, I like seeing mystudents having fun while studying a variety of topics. Many of my studentsare very hardworking and try to finish assignments such as the onlinediagnostic test and SALC activities early. Class discussion is the mostenjoyable part of the lesson for them so we usually spend most time onthat. It can be difficult to move on to the next part of the lesson when thestudents keep raising their hands, wanting to share their ideas. The mostbeautiful thing about being in the classroom is that the students can laughand enjoy themselves even when they cannot answer correctly. What afriendly atmosphere!At Chula, teaching and studying English is fun, a lot of fun. Rachada Ratanasin Part-time instructor (2013-present)The picture of a banner waving in front of CULI, “Come and join us onthe summer English camp”, is still fresh in my mind. I joined the campand that was the beginning of my personal transformation.After the English camp, I was selected to be the president of the EnglishClub. Here, my confidence and leadership skills were developed whichhelped me enormously in my position in an international and multiculturalenvironment.Now returning to CULI for the second time, as a teacher, I have noticedmany changes, for instance, a well-equipped Self-Access Learning Centerwith excellent language programs, a variety of books, magazines,newspapers, videos and computers, and interesting activities to helpstudents excel in English.As CULI reaches its 40th anniversary, I would like to thank all the staff,past and present, for their dedication and hard work. I wish CULIcontinued success for the years ahead. Kittipong Chiaoroongroj Part-time instructor (2010-present)

72 CULI’s 40th Anniversary My professional life revolves around using English for communication in today’s globalized society. I was fortunate to have the opportunity to join the Lower Mekong Initiative (LMI) English Project: Professional Communication Skills for Leaders on the topic of environment organized by the Chulalongkorn University Language Institute (CULI) in collaboration with the Regional English Language Office of the US Embassy in Thailand to help me with this. The course has helped me improve my English skills as well as provided me with knowledge of procedures and techniques on how to make a proper presentation and present proposals at an international conference. In addition, I’d really like to thank all the teachers of CULI for their effective teaching and the friendly atmosphere. While taking the courses, I could recognize that my English communication skill was improving every day. Apart from that, CULI gave me the great opportunity of sharing my professional experience with the students in “Career Talk” – one of the special activities of the CULI English Club. On the occasion of CULI’s 40th anniversary, I would like to say a special thanks to all teachers and staff for your continuing efforts and congratulations on their forty years of excellence. Kanokthip Wacharalekagool Invited Speaker for CULI English Club (2015-present) Policy and Plan Analyst United Nations Convention to Combat Desertification Group (UNCCD) Planning Division, Land Development Department Ministry of Agriculture and Cooperatives

I first became familiar with CULI as part of a Staff Development Project CULI’s 40th Anniversary 73administered through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I was impressedwith CULI’s dedicated and efficient staff. I now look at becoming aCULI staff member myself as one of the key turning points in my life.Professionally, I have had the opportunity to work in many positions inalmost all of the departments such as the secretary to the director and thesecretary to the Academic Affairs Department. Personally, I have cometo see CULI as my second home, and I am fortunate to be surrounded byfriends I have made here who have supported me both in good times andin bad. In my view, having good relationships with colleagues is oneof the best parts of working at CULI and I think this also helps promoteefficiency. I am delighted to be part of this institute that has contributedso much to Thai education. On its 40th Anniversary, I wish CULIcontinued prosperity and success. Charassri Potiwattutham Support Staff (1989-present) Head of Academic Administration (2014-present)I have been working at CULI for 26 years, and I am going to retire nextyear, my 27th anniversary. It is here that I have witnessed a lot of changesas well as challenges that CULI has faced in its management. All executiveteams share the same common goal of developing CULI. However, in myopinion, the diversity of staff points of view, both academic and support,has been the main challenge. So, systematic management is the firstpriority. To achieve this, I strongly believe that communication betweenthe support staff and immediate supervisors is the most important factorwhich can bring about positive outcomes. In addition, regardless of differencesin attitudes, all CULI staff members only need “understanding”. No matterwhat role they play, no matter what generation they belong to, it is essentialfor everyone to open their minds and learn from each other. Ornwipa Khumyai Support staff, Academic Service Center (1991-present)

74 CULI’s 40th Anniversary The Chulalongkorn University Language Institute is like a huge tree. For forty years, this gigantic tree has branched out and stood in stability with its roots spreading deep into the soil. Sometimes, this tree has been through storms, downpours, and droughts. Yet, it remains upright and strong, being a protecting shelter for birds, squirrels, and any passers-by. Likewise, CULI has long performed its duty with a strong will and determination for the utmost benefit of the society and it will continue this responsibility forever. Somkiat Panyameepholkit Support Staff, SALC (1980-present) The Chulalongkorn University Language Institute (CULI) is a great resource for English language instruction and possesses highly capable instructors. It is widely known in Thailand due to its outstanding academic achievements including CU-TEP, a well-known English proficiency test, the Self-Access Learning Center (SALC), which was a pioneer of its kind, and the English development project titled “Sustainable Si Chang” which supports local people in Chonburi. In addition, CULI is blessed with teaching and non-teaching staff who have great integrity, capability, and efficiency. That is why CULI is a valuable institution which contributes English language instruction and resources to both students and the wider public. Sureerat Kongsomprat Head of Correspondence Unit (1983-present)

Throughout my 37 years in the Operations team of CULI, I participated CULI’s 40th Anniversary 75in a number of activities including representing CULI in the universitysports activities for almost 30 years and acting as a representative onthe Chulalongkorn University Savings Cooperative AdministrativeCommittee for 14 years. CULI has developed apace from its strongfoundation laid during the first ten years. With the continuous support ofour administrative board, we continually adopt new pedagogicaltechnologies to be used in developing courses provided by the languageinstitute. Therefore, it is no doubt that for the past 40 years, since theestablishment of CULI, we have proved to the public that we are truly thenation’s leading educational institution whose mission is to strive foracademic excellence, maintain the language education policy objectivesin accordance with those of the university and the government, conductresearch beneficial for the development of language teaching, as wellas to become an institution with a commitment to enhance anddisseminate the knowledge of language teaching and language testingthroughout the country. Vichian Plumkid Head of General Administration (1980-present)Dating back to 1986, my first year working here, CULI was just a smallinstitute occupying only two stories, the third and the fourth floors, and aroom on the first floor to sell books and supplementary materials. Sixyears later, the second floor area and room 107 became CULI’s property.In the subsequent years, CULI’s goal to have a wider space to respond tothe needs of its students would become reality. In my view, the physicalexpansion reflects CULI’s prosperity and continuous determination toachieve its instructional mission to produce great graduates with first rateEnglish language skills, our country’s key asset. Wichian Koedphum Support Staff, IT Unit Former Head of Building, Grounds and Vehicle Unit (1986-present)

76 CULI’s 40th Anniversary It’s 24 years now since I started working here at CULI. My first day was totally different from a typical day today. Then the State Personnel Development Center, under the supervision of the Research Department, arranged only one to two projects a year. After a while, I realized that I would not be able to grow in my career without love for what I was doing. This caused me to change from being an unmotivated employee to a very dedicated one, aiming to work harder and make my work more systematic. From that turning point, CULI became my second home as I started working early in the morning until late at night. Now CULI is much more prosperous in all respects whether in terms of academic programs, research or extra academic services. It has also assembled a huge number of highly capable staff. As part of the institute, I am always determined to work at my best and contribute to the growth of CULI. It’s because of CULI’s support that I have developed professionally. I congratulate all CULI staff for our success. Srichan Tantineeranart CULI Support staff The State Personnel Development Center, Academic Service Department (1993-present) The picture of CULI in 1982 is still clear in my memory. Then, CULI was a small institute with few staff members occupying only the third and fourth floors of the Prem Purachatra Building. I have been very happy to keep CULI clean and tidy and efficiently deliver documents to staff. Apart from my two main responsibilities mentioned, I also assisted other units and departments, especially when there was a shortage of staff or when CULI was organizing an important event. For example, over two decades ago when computers were not available, I helped the staff in the Distribution Unit to manually write receipts for students. I also helped prepare materials for national seminars and international conferences. Nowadays, CULI has more staff members and is more modern and well-equipped with high technology. However, one thing that never changes is the helpfulness of all staff members working together. I am so proud to be part of CULI to witness its prosperity and wish to see its ongoing development continue in the future. Vilai Boonpame Janitor (1982-present)

It is quite inspiring how the collaboration between Chulalongkorn University CULI’s 40th Anniversary 77Language Institute, the Office of the Higher Education Commission, andthe U.S. Department of State has grown and developed over the last fiveyears. The Lower Mekong Initiative Professional Communication Skillsfor Leaders (PCSL) project has consistently improved and this is due, inlarge part, to the commitment and leadership of the Thai team at CULI. Thank you for your commitment to expanding opportunities forprofessionals and educators in your country and your region, and thankyou for opening your doors to this U.S./Thailand collaboration. The PCSLprogram has cultivated transnational relationships that will continue longafter the project ends this year, and the staff and faculty of CULI can beproud of a job well done. Megan Montgomery English Language Fellow, Thailand  (2015-2017)Over the last five years, the Chulalongkorn University Language Institute(CULI) has been a part of the successful Professional CommunicationSkills for Leaders project. This transnational collaboration betweenCambodia, Laos PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, the United States, and Vietnamhas been one of the most active endeavors of the Lower Mekong Initiative.CULI faculty and staff have contributed to many aspects of the projectand provided essential support for seminars, fora, conferences, andworkshops.  I have enjoyed co-teaching and presenting with CULI staff.Working on this project has been one of the highlights of my professionalteaching career. Ami Christensen English Language Fellow, Thailand (2015-2017) 

78 CULI’s 40th Anniversary Since its establishment on 7th November 1977, with an original mission “to provide English language instruction and training as well as conduct research related to the Thai and the English languages”, CULI has greatly developed its role. It has provided courses to correspond to various needs of faculties in Chulalongkorn University. In addition, it also caters to a variety of functions for both government and the private sectors. One highlight is the initiation of proficiency tests under two well-known names, the “CU-TEP” and “CULI Test”. With a strong foundation and expertise as a leading institute in testing and assessment, I hope to see CULI developing its test bank which can respond to the needs of all stakeholders in Thailand. Similarly to other teaching institutes challenged by ever changing global circumstances and the advancement of technology, I wish to see CULI continue motivating and strengthening their teaching and support staff over the long term to enhance and make an even stronger academic contribution. Puth Seesopaporn Retired Support staff Former Administrative Director (1982-2016) I have seen continuous progress at CULI over the years. It originally started as a project of the Planning and Development Department of Chulalongkorn University. It later became an English language center and merged with the Central Institute of the English Language (CIEL) of Ministry of University Affairs. Eventually, it was established as the “Chulalongkorn University Language Institute”. CULI provides English language instruction to both undergraduate and graduate students. In addition, it is well-known for its Self-Access Learning Center and as a center of English language academic resources. Dating back 40 years, CULI started as a small sprout. All of the staff has helped water, weed and fertilize, to cultivate and strengthen it. All share the same goal to see this plant grow and be fruitful year after year. Now, CULI is like a deep-rooted tree of Chulalongkorn University which has contributed greatly to Thailand’s educational institutions and its contribution will last forever. Pannee Meethong Former head of Self-Access Learning Center (SALC) Retired Support staff

CULI moved to its current and permanent location in the Prem CULI’s 40th Anniversary 79Purachatra Building after periods in the Planning and DevelopmentDepartment, the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, the ComputerBuilding (aka Chamchuri 8) and the Statistics Building. Now CULI is likea big tree with strong deep roots. I am very proud to have been a part ofCULI since its establishment to my retirement. Supenporn Pengsa-ard Retired Support staffIn my opinion, university is like an incubator, preparing youths with skillsand knowledge so that they can achieve their goals. Language is a crucialskill that can open up many opportunities and benefits for us. CULI helpsstudents to practice, use and improve their English skills. With the variousactivities and programs that CULI provides, each student can choose howto improve the English skills they lack, making CULI stand out fromregular English courses or tutoring. The program that I participate in themost is the CU Gavel Club, an English public speaking club. The GavelClub has opened up many opportunities for me: receiving a scholarshipfrom the Innes Vienna Institute, participating in the Dtac Telenor YouthForum, participating in the Asean Students Leadership Forum and otherbeneficial activities. Although I have been a club member for more than2 years, I still learn new things at every meeting. I strongly recommendthe club to other Chulalongkorn students who love to keep improving andto stand out from others. Chanavee Suwanasri Faculty of Architecture, 5th year (2013-present) Vice President of Public Relations of CULI Gavel Club (May 2016-present)

80 CULI’s 40th Anniversary My Impression of Let’s Chat The aspect of Let’s Chat that impressed me the most was the sincerely supportive intention behind the activity; the Language Institute’s collective desire for students to improve their English through self-directed learning tools in the SALC. When I first heard about it, I wondered if it was necessary since there were already so many other English activities for students to choose from. However, when I participated as one of the student assistants in the activity, I realized that having students of more or less the same age conduct Let’s Chat was what set it apart from other English activities which often involved instructors. In this manner, I believe Let’s Chat allowed students to open up more, dare to make mistakes, and apply their English skills in a practical way without reserve. Indeed, it was truly moving to meet many fellow students and witness their self-driven initiative to master English. Tientip Chalokkongtaworn Faculty of Arts, Year 4 (2014-2017) Bachelor of Arts Program in Language and Culture (BALAC) When I was a first-year student in the Faculty of Science, I took English as a compulsory course. I felt like English was not important for me and that I wasn’t good at it. Then in my fourth year, I realized that I wasn’t able to communicate with foreigners, which really matters for my future. As a result, I started practicing and coming to CULI, which really helped me to improve my English skills. I went to SALC to do all of the activities that they had. The teachers and staff were so nice and kind to me. They always gave me wonderful advice. I registered in 2 English courses in my last semester.  I did my best and it paid off. This made me realize that if I try as hard as I can, I can accomplish anything. While studying at CULI, the teachers never got tired of giving me help on my pronunciation, writing, presentations, mock exams, resume writing and how to make a great interview—even though they sometimes scolded me for being late. Sarah Gaffar Faculty of Science, Year 4 (2014-2017)

As an Arts student majoring in English, I felt the need to find as many CULI’s 40th Anniversary 81opportunities as I could to be in an English speaking atmosphere. TheCU Gavel Club and English Club caught my attention immediately. Why?Not only was I able to practice my English, but I was also able to shareexperiences and create friendships for a lifetime. CULI inspired me tospeak, to dream big and to make that a reality. With my 3 years ofjournalistic experience at BBTV Channel 7, I can proudly say that Englishis what brought me forward in this competitive world. I learnt not to beafraid to speak English and that the more I spoke, the more I learned.Joining activities at CULI was instrumental in helping me to achieve mygoals. If English is a door that opens up the whole wide world, CULI isdefinitely a key that can lead you to success. Jinny Nicharee Patthong News anchor, BBTV CH7 Faculty of Arts (2009-2012) CU Gavel Club Vice President Education (January-July, 2010) CU Gavel Club President (January-July, 2012)During my 4 years at Chulalongkorn University, I enrolled in many coursesoffered by CULI and also regularly participated in various activities in theSALC which were designed to meet the various needs of English languagelearners. In addition to the excellent facilities and lessons, CULI has beencontinuously trying to improve and develop to create the best learningexperience for students. For me, CULI is the ideal language institute forstudents to effectively enhance their English skills in a friendly environmentwith devoted staff. I dare say that I would not be successful today withoutthe help of CULI and SALC.

82 CULI’s 40th Anniversary Growing up in America during my early years gave me an edge in English competency when compared to my Thai peers. Quite often scoring top of the class during high school, I became a bit cocky. It was not until I entered Chulalongkorn University and found out that my English was just a little bit above standard but still lacked writing skills. Thanks to CULI teachers and their curriculum, I got back on track. Thus, CULI played an essential part in bringing me to where I am today. Then, in early 2017, Chulalongkorn University selected me to be host of the CU on the Road English-language quiz show which presented the chance to work with CULI staff again. This reconfirmed to me the devotion and inspiration of CULI staff. Thank you again. Suphajon Klinsuwan TV presenter and news anchor Lecturer, Faculty of Journalism (International Program), Thammasat University Political Science graduate, Chulalongkorn University (2003) If someone asked me to think of the best experiences in my university life, there would be a lot of them associated with CULI. The Institute impressed me from the beginning by sending me some of the best teachers I’ve met in my life in the courses it provided. I never felt I was forced or obliged to study. The lessons were tailored to fit different students from different faculties and majors. In the Activating Skills in English course, the teach- er inspired me and other teachers-to-be, as she showed that she understood us very deeply. CULI also became the place I came to every weekend as a member of the Gavel and English Clubs. This provided me with the opportunity to meet great people, to do activities, to travel and to learn. I can’t imagine my college life without CULI. Karanpatt Zienxanoh English Teacher, Assumption College (2017) CU Gavel Club Vice President Education (2013) CU Gavel Club Secretary (2012)
