This module offers an opportunity to discuss Thai politics, society, and culture in Thai language. The module aims to consolidate language abilities at an advanced level, enabling the comprehension and use of a specialized vocabulary and complex syntactic structures.

Through the analysis of original sources and of texts prepared specifically for the course, students will learn to manage formal, bureaucratic, and honorific linguistic registers, developing the skills necessary to operate independently in academic, commercial, and institutional contexts.

The teacher will provide the teaching materials on a weekly basis via the Moodle platform.

The exam consists of a single assessment (written and oral), with the first available date in the May–June exam session. The written exam will last one hour, immediately followed by the oral exams (both parts must be taken on the same day). The final grade will be determined by the average of the results achieved in the written and oral components. The exam format is identical for both attending and non-attending students.

The instructor is responsible for ensuring the authenticity and originality of all examinations and coursework. In cases of suspected academic misconduct, an additional on-site assessment may be required during the exams, which may differ from the standard format.

Scores will be assigned according to the following scheme:

A. Scores in the 18–22 range will be awarded for: Sufficient knowledge and applied understanding of the syllabus.
B. Scores in the 23–26 range will be awarded for: Fair/Good knowledge and applied understanding of the syllabus.
C. Scores in the 27–30 range will be awarded for: Very Good to Excellent knowledge and applied understanding of the syllabus.

The "blended" delivery mode promotes independent reading of texts and stimulates critical thinking through autonomous engagement with sources. This approach fosters a student-centered learning model: students become an active part of the educational process, allowing them to shape the teaching based on their specific needs and individual learning paces.

Activities include: in-person lectures and classroom debates; critical analysis of texts; discussions on dedicated forums; self-assessment quizzes on the Moodle platform.
