Full Description

Description

WorldTeach volunteers in China teach in secondary schools in Hunan Province. The program is designed to bring native English speakers to teach students at all socioeconomic levels, as currently in China the upper classes have more opportunities to learn from native speakers. Volunteers' role will be to build students' confidence in English through creative, orally-focused English lessons.

Volunteers depart in early August and return in early July of the following year. They receive a month-long orientation at the beginning of your service.

 
Cost Details
US $1000, plus $1,000 deposit to be refunded on successful completion of program. The China program is partially-funded by Hunan Province and is therefore available to volunteers at a substantially reduced cost. The program cost includes pre-departure information and preparation, round-trip international airfare from a US departure city, visa, intensive in-country orientation training, health insurance, meals and housing during orientation and throughout your teaching service, and 24 hour in-country support.
 
 
Language Needed
English (fluent)
 
Skills Needed/ Experience
Volunteers must be native English speakers and have a bachelor's degree. Our partners in China also require that volunteers be under the age of 65 and free of sexually-transmitted infections. Successful volunteers will be flexible, mature, and have a genuine interest in teaching. Chinese language or teaching qualifications are not required, although prior experience will strengthen your application.
 
Detailed Location Information
China is a fascinating country rich in culture and contrasts. With one of the fastest growing economies in the world, China is rapidly becoming a major player in global affairs.

As China begins to face these changes, the need for quality, modern education has become more pressing. To access opportunities in an increasingly international economy and society, China's younger generation will need English language skills and the ability to communicate effectively with people from other cultures.

There is currently a huge demand for English teachers in China.The WorldTeach/Hunan Program was established to bring volunteer English teachers to a broader range of students through the Province's public schools.
