On 17 January 2026, Kru Apple, our Assessment and Curriculum Leader in the Secondary Thai Department, delivered a seminar on techniques for crafting effective short stories for the Cambridge IGCSE Thai First Language Mock Examination Paper 1, Part 1 at King’s College International School. Thai teachers from 32 international schools participated. The atmosphere was warm, collaborative, and highly engaged. Participants took part in practical workshop activities and completed a full mock exam paper, enabling the group to explore teaching and assessment strategies in depth.
