Project Life
Teach English to Communities in Krabi, Thailand

The day always starts early, particularly if you are on the kitchen duty rotation. After a breakfast that normally consists of pancakes or eggs, those doing the TEFL training will work with their trainers to gain valuable teaching techniques and methods. Most of the day will be focused on working on lesson plans and creating teaching resources to utilize during their evening lessons at the local community centre. The content of the lessons and the presentation techniques to be used are the responsibility of the volunteers, and one of the big opportunities of this project is to rise to that challenge and become creative! Those who have completed the TEFL qualification will have the opportunity to take over their own class for adults at the community centre or to students or teachers within a nearby school. Placement depends upon the length of stay of the project volunteer.
