The Hamburg Society for Thai Studies and the Department for Languages and Cultures of Southeast Asia invite you to an online lecture on Friday, November 19, 2021, at 14:00 CET.

Populations can be divided into generations, and it is possible to identify generational differences. In the 21st century, educators are faced with the challenges of adapting their teaching styles to accommodate a new generation of learners and to promote student learning. The classrooms represent multi-generations – Baby boomers, Generation X, Millennials, Generation Z, and now Generation Alpha. Communication between teacher and student is especially important today because each generation has a collective identity and the gaps in time and understanding that exist among them. The presentation will highlight some of the challenges and issues related to these generational divides and describe the context, characteristics, and learning styles of each generation. Using generational diversity as a teaching tool in the classroom is also discussed.

We are pleased to welcome Dr. Pakdeekul Ratana who will share her opinion on this topic. Dr. Pakdeekul is a lecturer at the Faculty of Education, Chiang Mai University. Currently, she is a Visiting Lecturer at Chandigarh University, India.  She received her Ph.D. from University of Münster, Germany and her dissertation was based on gender studies in history. Dr. Pakdeekul’s teaching interests include history, creative Lan Na, citizenship and 21st century learning.

of Lan Na history, gender studies, education, and SDGs.
