💼 What the programme involves
Often the local English teachers are very capable of teaching the structural aspects of the English language - such as the grammar - but do not use the correct intonation or pronunciation, because they lack the confidence of a native speaker. By providing conversational English teaching, you can greatly enhance the learning experience and the future prospects of many children. Often you will find that all you have is a blackboard and a piece of chalk in the classroom. Fortunately, the main resource you have is yourself. The students will want to find out about you. They will want to know why you have chosen to come and teach in a school in Argentina. Lots of the lessons will give you the opportunity to explain about where you live or your interests and hobbies at home. Many volunteers choose to help out in other areas too, helping students with extra-curricular activities like sports, drama, or music lessons for example.
Every day, volunteers get to the school and attend to the classes they will be assisting. Sometimes they are assigned to a special subject like, english, gym, theatre and sometimes they are assisting a teacher from certain grade. Early in the morning, volunteers will help his group to make the line to say hello to the director and rice the flag. After that they will go to their classrooms until is lunch time. Volunteers can have lunch with the students and come back home.
