In the Puean Program, student-teachers teach about Japan in English as well as assist with Japanese language classes at the schools. The purposes of the program are for the student-teachers to improve their communicative teaching skills, for the Thai students to broaden their world-wide perspectives, and for Iwate University, Siam University, Wat Nuannoradit School, and the Stri Wat Absorsawan school to create an innovative content and language integrated learning program.

The English and Math Department of the Faculty of Education oversee this program. Four Faculty of Education students go to the Panyapiwat Institute of Management (PIM) Demonstration School (SATIT) to teach math to junior high school students in English. SATIT School is an international school which uses the Finnish model of education. Students there have a very high level of English.
