Teaching English Maths Sports to Buddhist Monks in Monastery

Kathmandu Summit Adventure's monastery teaching volunteer program is designed for people who are interested in religious culture to teach English in one monastery for a period of two months or more. Kathmandu Summit Adventure can provide longer stays upon request. Volunteers will teach English to the monks, both young and old, for around two to three hours per day. In turn, the monks will share their knowledge and culture with the volunteers. Meditation practice, as well as field trips to Hindu and Buddhist holy sites, will be included in the program.

Monks will be able to speak both languages, so it is really a matter of the volunteer's preference; however, most people find Nepali easier to learn. The volunteers will visit holy sites around the Kathmandu Valley. This program combines religious research, through an experiential approach, with volunteer English teaching. Due to the fact that the monks spend their lives inside the monastery, this program provides them with the amazing opportunity to learn English, as well as experience another culture, from an international volunteer.

As a volunteer in Nepal teaching English to Buddhist monks in a monastery, you will primarily work as an English instructor to the monks. You’ll teach English to monks for 2-4 hours a day. You are encouraged to hold discussions and debates as this will greatly increase your ability to grasp and speak English. Daily activities may include:

• Teaching English grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation
• Planning lessons and curriculum development
• Leading classes to teach basic conversational English
• Organizing extracurricular activities such as dancing, games, music, sports, art, etc.
• Helping monks with their homework
• Assisting monastery administrations
• Fundraising for the monastery
• Helping around the monastery
