What is SEAMEO SEA Teacher?
The SEA Teacher Project or the “Pre-Service Student Teacher Exchange in Southeast Asia” is a project that aims to provide opportunity for pre-service student teachers from universities in Southeast Asia to have teaching experiences (practicum) in schools in other countries in Southeast Asia. Specifically, the aims of the SEA – Teacher Project are:​​
-
To enable the student teachers to develop their teaching skills and pedagogy.
-
To encourage the student teachers to practice their English skills.
-
To allow the student teachers to gain a broader regional and world view.
-
To expose future teachers to diverse teaching and learning situations and opportunities, and the value of flexibility.
Based on the SEAMEO seven priority areas for the eleven SEAMEO member countries to work together to improve the quality of education in Southeast Asia, “Revitalizing Teacher Education” is one of the priority areas in building and strengthening capacity of teachers in the region. The duration is for one month and based on the mechanism of cost sharing basis. Students’ roles and responsibilities are assigned weekly during the one month period (observe, assist in teaching, teach and reflect).

​Aligned with the objectives of the SEA-Teacher Pre-Service Student Teacher Exchange in Southeast Asia, the author wants to personally observe and experience the rich culture and tradition of partnering country and acquire pedagogy from the host university and receiving school.
