TEXT-AND-TALK: Thailand's Favourite Language Service Institute

WHY TEXT-AND-TALK IS THAILAND'S FAVOURITE
LANGUAGE SERVICE INSTITUTE

TEXT-AND-TALK Consultancy (Thailand) Limited was established in 1990 as a standard-enhancing language training institute for the conduct of English and Japanese training for staff in companies, as well as for the private training of families and children in homes. So successful were our efforts that just two years later we expanded from single-floor start-up premises to our present double-wide, 4-floor, facility (located just 40 meters off Phaholyothin Road in Soi 32, or Sena Nikhom 1), for the purpose of conducting inside training under full Ministry of Education authorization and the (English) institute name of "TEXT-AND-TALK Consultancy Language Development Academy".

TEXT-AND-TALK was founded by JAMES PARMELEE, who himself (with a greater-than-Ph.D. level of knowledge in linguistics, professional writing skills and expertise in direct selling and marketing) possessed OVER 23 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN SUCCESSFUL ENGLISH LANGUAGE TRAINING OF THAI PEOPLE in universities, colleges and language schools of all types. James, along with wife Sureeporn, the Principal of our Language Development Academy, early on established some guiding principles of business conduct which, to this day, have served our organization well -- these being that:

"We will take very good care
of the people who take care of us."

1. "We will conduct business only in fields of and in which we ourselves are informed, skilled and experienced."
2. "We will promise to do and perform all that our client companies and students might reasonably desire and expect of a professional language training institute; but, unlike many competitor institutes, will always be available for consultation, and will really deliver at all times what we have promised."
3. "We will employ only the best qualified, experienced and professional native-speaking instructors to conduct language training in the name of TEXT-AND-TALK."
4. "We will take very good care of the people who take care of us." (This includes our client companies and their staff [our students]; all students; the teachers who perform well; the marketing agents who provide places for teachers to teach; and, not least, our fine office staff who make the marketing agents (and everything else) possible."
5. " We will expand our services into other lines as soon as possible, but only upon attaining the point of development at which we can assure clients of the broadest, sincerest and best performance it is humanly possible to provide."

Currently, TEXT-AND-TALK has plans to expand services to several geographic areas more central than our present location; and, through our education in the services marketplace of Bangkok, now successfully offers service lines such as Business Workshops and Seminars, a full suite of Executive Services for both Thais and Foreigners, and our one-in-the-world FAX-WRITE^® Translation Service, which provides full Quality Control and Assurance -- through meticulous Proofreading, Editing and Document Formatting -- at rates competitive with those of translation companies that do not offer such controls, and at superior speed, as well.

Upcoming, as soon as full quality control and assurance systems can be reliably emplaced, will be:

1. Full Training of Thai Students Preparing for Overseas Study, at any level, including Placement in universities most suitable to their individual standards of Skills, Intelligence, Interests and Goals -- with the universities themselves having been rated by us for "Thai Student Suitability", as based on numerous criteria important to Thai nationals studying abroad.
2. An English Job Interview Service by professional job interviewers, who, afterwards will conduct Business English Exams to determine competency levels; will prepare effective English Language Résumés; will conduct Interview Practice -- and, finally, will actually assist job seekers to gain employment from among our numerous client companies and friends!

Much more is planned than simply this for the future -- but we believe that, for now, you will understand why so many teachers and educators have informed us that:

"Your school has done more to
RAISE THE LANGUAGE TRAINING STANDARDS
of private language academies in Thailand
than anything or anyone else in recent years."

-- and why, as our slogan, we call ourselves with pride:
