Volunteer in China - Teach and Travel

Description

This rewarding program is a great way for you to discover China, its culture, customs and people. You will be teaching in a school in the Guangxi County, Guilin City--- a relatively underdeveloped area, but with excellent scenery all around. As a participant, you will be working as an English teacher teaching mainly conversational English to students of all ages.


All participants will take part in our standard Introduction week and a 1 week Teacher Training Program. The Teacher training program focuses on helping participants become confident teachers and gives them an opportunity to learn about the culture, customs, an introduction to the Chinese language and to take part in some excursions.

After orientation your volunteer work begins. Your main role is to teach conversational English, so you can be creative and have fun doing this. Current volunteers often use songs and games to aid them in their teaching, which is great fun for you and your students! The students are very keen to learn and enjoy having foreign teachers at the school.


Your accommodation whilst you are on your teaching placement is provided by your school on the school site or you may stay in our Project Center in Fengyang village, Guangxi County.

All your food is included. You will have your meals at the school canteen.
