July / August 2016
You will be provided TEFL training prior to departure and onsite teaching supervision during the beginning of the programme. Then you will be teaching 7 -13 years old school children from less privileged families in both locations independently or with translation support depending on the situation. There will be some out of classroom teaching or activities as well. The key purpose is not only teaching English in a fun and relaxed environment but also raising the children’s interest in English and western culture.
