About Program

All placements are to teach English as a Foreign Language in educational institutions. The educational institutions range from primary, middle and vocational schools, to colleges and universities. Volunteers will work in collaboration with Chinese English teachers to teach English conversation classes in order to build on and develop the students’ vocabulary without teaching formal English grammar.

Increasingly, placements are offering volunteers the opportunity for more formal discussions with their Foreign Languages staff about customs and culture in Canada or the US.
Volunteers will have the opportunity to plan their own lessons and become integrated into the local community, as they may be the Western residents in the city.

This program is no longer offered. View more programs from Lattitude Global Volunteering.

"Rural" China

I spent four months in rural Sichuan, in a town called Yibin, teaching at a university. For a 21 year old, this was extremely challenging; which is where its strength lay. I taught conversational English classes and also had a fair amount of free time so was able to learn some Chinese and some martial arts, as well as travel. The accomodation and living allowance provided was highly adequate, and the working environment was friendly and fun. Overall my experience was very unique and since then I have returned to China four times for various reasons, and can recognise that my original experience was one I would be very unable to organise myself yet was absolutely life-enriching and, to be cliched, changed my life and opinion on the world.
