Around the world, English is the language of commerce, technology and opportunity.

In developing countries, English can be a passport out of poverty, and in many countries, students must pass a comprehensive English exam to be admitted to the University. Unfortunately, most youth have no access to native English speakers to help them fully use the language. You are needed as a valuable resource in classrooms, small groups, language camps, and business to teach conversational English to children and adults. No formal teaching experience is required, just a willingness to share what you were given for free – knowledge of the English language. We provide you our proprietary Conversational English Teaching Guide (CETG) which includes fun, interactive lesson plans for beginners, intermediate, and advanced speakers, cultural adaptations, and suggested songs and games appropriate for all learning levels. Each setting presents different opportunities and joys. While adult students who value English in professional settings may pursue business English, youth are always fun-loving and are motivated by new approaches and physical learning.  Here’s how you help:

• Use the CETG and its lesson plans, songs, games, stories and your own creativity to make the English lessons your own!
• Teach alongside local English teachers, or team teach with another volunteer.
• Lessons might be English idioms for advanced students – or common vocabulary and phrases for new learners.
• Choose summer language camps, traditional classroom instruction, or one-on-one tutoring.
• Plan lessons around shopping excursions, field trips, musical events, or community cultural activities.

Wherever you serve and whatever age group or level you teach, you will enhance a student’s life in ways you likely cannot even imagine. While no one volunteer teaches someone to speak English, multiple volunteers over several years enable learners to become fluent in the language. That changes everything!
