English teaching and intercultural learning in Thailand

Teaching English and sharing your culture with school children and the local community of Nakhon Ratchasima is the main aim of this project. For the past 10 years that the project has been running, volunteers have contributed to a positive change in the local community by helping many children and adults improve their English skills and open up to different cultures.

Learning English and developing the skills to communicate with people from other countries is considered a high priority in primary schools in Thailand. Exposure to different languages and cultures allows these students to build their self-confidence, overcome their barriers and get used to interacting with foreign people. The continuation of this project is essential for the students’ improvement and success.

Volunteers will work as English teachers in two primary schools. The local host may schedule Monday-Wednesday work in one school and Thursday and Friday work in the other school. They will prepare their lessons by themselves, with some advice from the local teachers at the school. Volunteers are welcome to take creative approach and use games, songs, storytelling, drawing, dancing to engage students. Activities should focus on communication, listening and speaking, and intercultural learning. You will meet a different class each day, so the activities you prepare can be used similarly in both schools and the different classes. Teaching certificate is not required but motivation, creativity and enthusiasm for teaching are important.
