Volunteers at this project should have a genuine love of children and young people, and an interest in education. Although you do not require any special skills, any experience working with children or young people would be valuable. Volunteers must be able to use their initiative and be motivated to work without guidance. Volunteers should be patient, hard-working, resourceful and imaginative.
Your role as a volunteer:
You may become involved in teaching English through a variety of methods, including formal learning using textbooks, conversation classes, games and songs. Some of the projects have the opportunity to teach IT skills alongside English, or as a method of practising English. There may be the opportunity to become involved with drama or debates, and you might be asked to provide homework support for the children. You may also be required to help develop English teaching resources or improve the language skills of the permanent English teachers.
Description:
Children in the Philippines begin learning English as soon as they start school, so its not a surprise that most of the population can speak and understand English. Learning English from a native speaker is an inspirational experience for the local children who have rarely see foreigners. We place volunteers in rural elementary schools in and around Tacloban City and surrounding towns to assist the locals. These volunteers are able to experience life in a rural village and will observe the true meaning of community. We also send volunteers to teach informal education classes in the heart of Tacloban City. These classes are developed for school-leavers and unemployed adults interested in learning the basics of the English language. Volunteers can be role models for these struggling teenagers and adults....
Volunteers in this program teach English to local children in elementary schools. Volunteers do NOT have to be native speakers of English. Volunteers will receive assistance from us and the local school regarding the lesson plans and teaching curriculum. There will be a Teaching Guide book to assist you in your daily work with the children. Volunteers can bring along teaching materials such as picture books, instruments, flash cards, art supplies, and songs. Classes are generally in session five days a week.
