Description of the Work

Aims
Volunteers are the key person to make the students, teachers and Local community
speak using English in daily life.
They learn English in the class but only in reading and writing (grammarly) but very
lacking in speaking with Each other due to the culture barrier. When there are
international volunteers, the environment in the school and community force to use
English and they also couple exchange with volunteers.
From Monday to Friday, 08:30 - 16:30, the volunteer will be at the school, teaching for
3-4 hours a day and preparing lessons in the teacher's room. In addition, the volunteer
will participate in school activities such as Sports Day, Buddhist Day, and more.
Workplaces
There will be 2 schools which are Ban Krogluek School and Ban Maab Grad School.
The local host may schedule Monday-Wednesday work in one school and Thursday
and Friday work in another school.
You will meet different classes each day. So the activities you prepare can be used
similarly in both school and each class.
InterCultural and Language Topic (Just an ideas)
Where is Europe/Belgium? Bring the map, locate (question or teach) Europe
continent, Belgium and basic to know about your countries, culture, people, your
family and let them tell you about their family by making cards or any other ideas
What time is it? Learn how to say the time in English and tell them about your
country's time now compared with the time around the world using the map
location, explain why time differs
Basic Flemish language Learn them what is basic Flemish conversation and let
