TEACHING ENGLISH IN NEPAL
Most of the time,
volunteers in the teaching sector work as instructors of
English of small school children. Teaching in Nepali
schools as volunteers is very charming, fulfilling and
rewarding. Teaching placements are available in both
public and private boarding schools. English teaching
volunteers do not necessarily be native English
speakers. Fluent English speakers with or without formal
teaching experience may also contribute greatly to the
children’s educational development. Our teaching
placements are available in various schools of Kathmandu,
The main resources that you will have in classroom are a
blackboard, book and a peace of chalk. Of course, you
yourself are the most reliable resource for English
teaching in Nepal. As a CSDN volunteer you will give
your students career chances a boost and watching them
grow during your time overseas. You will have the
opportunity to gain the confidence of the students and
their guardians thereby becoming like a member of the
local community.
Teaching placement is
not available in July and August in any other area
outside of the Katmandu valley because of summer
vacation. CSDN may arrange teaching placements in nearby
villages of Katmandu Valley during July and August. Most
of the schools in Nepal follow a fixed English
curriculum for English. Volunteers will teach courses in
collaboration with local English teachers. Many of our
past volunteers have also organized informal English
classes in local villages.
Your Activities as a
Volunteer:
As a volunteer, you
will work in public school with boys and girls in a
class size of about 20 to 35. Volunteer teach 2-3 hours
a day, Monday to Saturday, working with children ranging
in age from 6-15. Also, volunteers may be asked to teach
English in a variety of schools and assist Nepal’s most
destitute citizens. Along with English lessons, you may
teach other skills like game, painting, music,
sanitation, computers and arts. Most schools in Nepal
follow fixed courses for teaching English. Volunteers
teach school courses in collaboration with local
English teachers
English teaching prior
experience is desired but not mandatory for English
teaching volunteers. They need to have good
communication skill in English but need not necessarily
be a native. Volunteers are required to have strong
eagerness to help the people of Nepal. Volunteers should
also be flexible, self-motivated, open to new cultures
and a strong willingness to learn and take new
initiatives. |
