Volunteer Teaching Placements in Bali, Indonesia from US$320

Children may have the opportunity to learn English at school, however this is usually taught by a local Balinese teacher and thus the children never really get to practice their conversational skills or hear native English being spoken.

Balinese children are extremely eager to learn and are an absolute joy to teach. Volunteers on this project spend two hours each morning preparing lessons and three hours in the afternoon teaching at a local elementary or high school.

It is entirely up to you what you decide to teach, however there is a general syllabus for you to follow and examples of what previous volunteers have taught for you to continue with. The aim of this project is to show students that learning English is fun and volunteers are encouraged to be creative with their methods of teaching – through games, songs, art, sport and music.

If you are new to teaching, you may wish to team up with another volunteer, as two teachers in the classroom often works well in regards to confidence building and gaining greater control of the class, whose enthusiasm often spills over into great excitement! Your role is to encourage and inspire, but most importantly for teachers and students alike to enjoy the experience.
