The curriculum of this 12 week series is tailored to the desires of the students. If students wish to learn only spoken Thai, this will be the focus of the class. If students wish to learn reading and writing, these will be introduced toward the end of the series in preparation for deeper understanding when students move on to Intermediate Thai. Goi employs various learning tools to meet different learning styles such as computers, games, and cooperative groups .
