This article is an academic article that compiles knowledge and ideas from academic documents and teaching experience in international schools. This article aims to propose learning and teaching guidelines for teaching Thai as a foreign language by using the literature-based learning which can be applied to Thai as a foreign language course in international schools. The author suggests guidelines for learning and teaching Thai as a foreign language by using Thai literature and the Five Steps for Student Development Technique consisting of 1. Learning to Question, 2. Learning to Search, 3. Learning to Construct, 4. Learning to Communicate, and 5. Learning to Serve, and activities based on Visible Thinking Routine, the process of structured thinking, following the Constructivism Theory. As a result of the implementation of these teaching approach guidelines, students are encouraged to learn to deepen their understanding of the meaning and participate more in the classroom and develop their critical thinking skills.
