activities with the local students of all ages. The camp will consist of two
weeks teaching English language to the school children. This program is all
about teaching languages! Of course the primary focus is on the English
language, but Thai people are also interested in getting an introduction to
other foreign languages like French and Japanese. The project will consist of
working with local students at schools (we have strong relationships with
several primary, secondary, and high schools). The students will be between 7
and 18 years old. This camp takes a non-formal approach to teaching. This means
that, when you teach in the school, you will have to conform to the local
teaching methods or style, but you will be free to choose your own way of teaching
and may bring your own ideas into class. Please understand that your methods
for teaching are less important than your attitude towards the students. Also,
the subject of the teaching can alter, depending on current projects in the
camp and might include, for example, environmental issues. Nobody expects you
to teach the students to speak English fluently in two weeks. Everyone involved
considers it more important for the children to have personal contact with
foreigners and to 'open up' with them. It is expected that the volunteers bring
creative ideas for teaching. During free time volunteers will also participate
in the free time activities of the local villagers and get to know them. The
volunteers learn about the work and daily life of the villagers in this area.
After school you may expect visits from neighborhood villages at the camp site
or do some activities with the local people such as some game etc.
Remember that the point of the work is primarily a
tool to build relationships with one another.
