Description

Global Volunteers needs help to lend a hand providing conversational English instruction to Hungary's future leaders. English instruction is now mandatory in Hungary's schools, and that's where Global Volunteers can lend a hand.

You will spend four to five lesson hours each day in public-school classrooms teaching conversational English to elementary, high school and adult students and assisting the host teachers with their exercises. Volunteers will teach conversational English in Hodmezovasarhely, (pronounced hod-mesha-varshavey-hoy or just varshavey-hoy) in southern Hungary. All volunteers teach under the direction of Hungarian English teachers, using student texts and established lesson plans. You can serve as a resource on topics of American culture, including history, daily lifestyle, sports and school systems. American songs, games, letter writing and discussions are the primary techniques used depending on the ages and proficiency of the students.
