Your teaching work will focus on these areas:
Work as a teaching assistant
Work alongside a qualified teacher to provide focused attention to students. You’ll work together to come up with stimulating educational activities. You’ll also get experience putting together lesson plans under their guidance.
Teach English
Your focus will be on improving students’ conversation skills and pronunciation. You can come up with interactive lessons to encourage your students to practice. Things like acting out short skits or singing songs are simple to do, but lots of fun. We’ll give you plenty of guidance and ideas for lessons, but you’re also welcome to bring along games and activities from home.
Teach other subjects
If you’re interested in teaching other subjects, like maths or science, just let us know. We’ll organise for you to work as a teaching assistant during these classes.
Argentine students are eager to learn new languages. If you speak French, German, or Italian, you have the option to give classes in one of these languages. Your students will also be interested in hearing about other countries and cultures. So you can incorporate information and traditions from your home country into your lessons.
Make educational resources
Want to make a lasting difference to the students at you placement? Make colourful, educational posters or design flashcards to facilitate learning. Things like matching games with word and picture cards are easy to make and help make learning more interactive.
You can work together with other volunteers or even get the students involved in making educational resources. Then, use these resources during your lessons. Teachers and future volunteers will also be able to use them.
