💼 What the programme involves
Learning a different language is never easy...it takes a lot of hard work and study, but through this exchange program we hope to make it easier and fun for you!
The best way to learn a language is by immersing yourself in it. That makes the Phillipines a great option within Asia, as English is an official language of the Philippines. It means you will be surrounded by the language you are learning, making it easier for you to engage in English conversations and practice in a realistic setting.
The government's strong focus on the English language is one of the reasons the Philippines is ranked as one of the highest in English proficiency in Asia. It is common for road signs, TV, radio media and printed media to be in English and most of its people are competent in English.
Outdoor activities and games will also be big part of your learning, especially considering how beautiful this locations is!
You will also learn in a professional classroom environment. Your teachers will be university lecturers and you'll have the great opportunity to exchange cultures, languages, politics and more with both them, and the students of the university.
This exchange program will connect with the rural area by having some of our English classes in rural areas, and by visiting our other ongoing community programs happening around the Palawan area.
