Volunteer and Travel Tour in Thailand

Teaching in Secondary Schools
Trip code: THA5

The secondary schools are located in larger communities, towns or cities. These schools for 12-19 year olds are really big with 1000 – 4000 students. Almost all of these schools are co-education. Each school has a foreign language department. English is the main language offered but some of these schools also offer French, German, Italian languages. The presence of native English speaking volunteers will create conducive environment for the children to learn and speak in English. Volunteers/travelers can benefit by supplying these students with much-needed expertise in conversational English as well as provide a solid foundation to meet their needs, nurture their interests and ultimately make them attractive in Thailand’s growing job market.

 
Project/Volunteer's Life:

The English teaching volunteers in secondary schools can also teach other languages in addition to English depending upon the school. There can be about 10 teachers in the foreign language department; however, only 1-2 teachers may speak good English. Others just translate the stories, and teach grammar/structural English. Therefore, there is a lack of conversational English. Volunteers will work for 4-5 hours a day from Monday to Friday.

Skills and Qualification

Though no teaching experience or skill is needed, volunteers joining English-teaching projects should have a mastery of the English language as well as speak properly. Volunteers are expected to be flexible and patient as well as possess a passion and love for children

Meals/Accommodations:

Rustic Volunteer Travel manages room/food for volunteers. Volunteers live with the host family or in hostel and we manage a separate, simple, clean and modest room as well as local meals three times a day. Volunteer will also have an access to our office in Thailand and mobile number of our coordinators. Our staffs also visit volunteers in each 2-4 week interval as a part of the program. Details covering living accommodations provided prior to arrival.

Project Locations:

Secondary school teaching projects are available in Bangkok (capital city; notable attractions such as the Grand Palace, Democracy Monument, Giant Swing, Sanam ), with shops, banks & internet cafes nearby. Known for Muay Thai, or Thai boxing, the culture of Thailand incorporates a great deal of influence from India, China, and the rest of southeast Asia. Like most Asian cultures, respect towards ancestors is an essential part of Thai spiritual practice. Thais have a strong sense of hospitality and generosity, but also a strong sense of social hierarchy.

Volunteers can organize different possible excursions during and after the project to visit places of interest. There is a tourist infrastructure already in place the volunteer can use during weekends. For example: waterfalls, lakes, caves, buffalo/ elephant ride, trekking, adventurous rafting, visits to local handicraft outlets, temples, palaces, wats, hotels, and many more.
