There is a growing demand for teachers and people interested in volunteering as part of the volunteer program to teach English in China. The main area for volunteers to cover is conversational English skills, which will be taught to primary and junior high school students.
Global Crossroad is currently involved with several Chinese public schools and most of them are located in rural areas that serve children of farmers and other working class-citizens. Non-native English speakers are also invited to join this volunteer overseas teaching English project.
Volunteer Responsibilities & Impacts
The growing demand for an English Language education in China is tied to the country's economic growth. As China continues to be a global business competitor, the importance of the English language is increasing steadily as well. Many public schools in China have established an "English corner," an area of the classroom designed and set aside for teaching and learning English.
These schools are very eager for international teachers to join the volunteer teaching English in China program! Unfortunately, only private, exclusive urban schools tend to attract native English teachers.
Most rural schools are desperately searching for quality English teachers. Your time and effort will be so important in strengthening these student's English skills, which will enable them to compete equally in the workforce as they grow older. This volunteering experience teaching English in China is a great chance to make a real difference in the lives of these children. Global Crossroad offers many teaching English overseas volunteer opportunities around the world.
