Description
The recently launched English Education project aims to improve the English language speaking, writing, teaching and learning capacity of students, teachers, schools, and communities in Nepal in order to improve access to academic and/or professional opportunities, information, and resources. The English Education Project has three primary focus areas:
1. Building the capacity of Nepali English Teachers so they can teach English more effectively
2. Increasing English skills among students in grades 5-8
3. Strengthening community support for English language learning
Volunteers will find themselves in the role of co-learner rather than that of expert when it comes to their individual and co-teaching practices. In essence, Volunteers and Nepali teachers will engage in ongoing professional dialogue and co-teaching so they can identify, implement, and reflect on effective classroom practices suitable for the context of teaching and learning in Nepal. By taking on the role of co-collaborator, Volunteers work together with their counterpart teachers to build capacity.
Volunteers with more teaching experience may find new challenges in grappling with finding the niche between best practices from past teaching assignments and best practices within the Nepali classroom. While building relationships and gaining trust among school leadership, teachers, and students, Volunteers will support Nepali teachers in developing their capacity to communicate in English and to teach English through the professional exchange of EFL (English as a Foreign Language) methods, techniques, and resources.
In addition to classroom teaching, you will also have the opportunity to work on a variety of projects that may include youth clubs, camps, school libraries, and girls’ education and empowerment initiatives. As an educator, you will promote gender equity and will help students from marginalized communities achieve positive education outcomes.
