The interns can develop or revise English curriculum. The interns can also help these students in their listening and writing skills. You can also get involved in the administrative works for the smooth functioning of the school.

The interns can get a clear picture of how to deal with students, how to keep the class functional and how to teach effectively. Besides it's an opportunity to sharpen their English knowledge and skills.
