Project 1: Teaching English in Hanoi and Halong Bay
There is a huge demand for English teachers in Vietnam, as most young people are very keen to learn English. (In a developing country like Vietnam, learning English can create great opportunities and improve the job prospects of many young people.) Few Vietnamese school children have the opportunity to learn from a native English speaker, and to develop areas of English that are not covered in their school syllabus, such as conversational English.
You will start as an assistant teacher, and as you gain confidence and experience there may be the opportunity for you to lead classes. The main teacher will focus on the teaching of grammar, while you will be expected to practise conversational English with the children. English textbooks issued by the Ministry of Education & Training will be provided, but you must be prepared to teach English through a variety of methods, including drama, debates, games and songs. There may be the opportunity to teach other subjects, such as IT. You may also be required to help develop English teaching resources or improve the language skills of the permanent English teachers. Volunteers at this project should have a genuine love of children and young people, and an interest in education. (Any experience working with children or young people would be valuable.)
