International teaching assistance offers opportunities for educational collaboration while presenting communication challenges in multilingual schools. This article describes learning support at Saengarun Anusorn School, Narathiwat, Thailand, focusing on language adaptation, varied teaching methods, and collaboration between teaching assistants and local teachers. Conducted from July to October 2023 under the Merdeka Belajar Kampus Merdeka (MBKM) program, activities included teacher coordination, teaching material preparation, classroom facilitation, individual and group guidance, and participation in school activities. Strategies comprised guided explanations, hands-on practice, connections to everyday life, singing, and digital learning resources. Implementers’ observations indicated active student responses alongside ongoing communication adjustments involving Thai, Malay, and English. Differences in students’ abilities and language barriers constituted the main challenges. Because the report included no instruments for evaluating learning outcomes, findings remain descriptive and do not demonstrate measurable improvement. The experience emphasizes the importance of contextualized educational support and collaboration with partner teachers as a foundation for developing similar international teaching assistance programs in multilingual school settings.
