Hi there! Welcome to Lao Soo Gun Fung Episode 6.

How’s it going? I hope you guys are doing well and are looking forward to reading a good article from Lao Soo Gun Fung, right? Well, today we're going to introduce Language for Communication (LCC). This is one of our international programs at the Faculty of Humanities, Srinakharinwirot University. LCC can be an alternative program for your future study.

Bachelor of Arts Program in Language for Communication (International Program) or LCC is considered a new international program of the Faculty of Humanities. Up to 2021, the program has welcomed a total of 5 batches. The focus of LCC is on effective communication, whether it is cross-cultural communication or communication in foreign languages : French, German, Khmer, and Vietnamese. It is very suitable if you do not want to learn only English but with a third language and a fourth language until you graduate. As the 1st-year students of the program, you will choose to study one Western language and another Oriental language together with other courses in English. Then, you will select your double major in your second year: English-French; English-German; English-Khmer; English-Vietnamese. For those who are not confident with the third and fourth languages, don't be afraid because the instructors will start from foundations of these third and fourth languages.
