    • Teaching English in Rural Cambodia

    Project Summary

    Education is not as widely accessible as we know it in Cambodia. Children have access to a regular public school for three hours per day only. During this time, they don’t get the chance to learn a lot of English. That’s why a local leader in the community started a voluntary school project back in 2008 for children to come and learn English. The project had an immeasurably positive impact on the community. Every day, more than 400 children attend one of the two sessions offered in the morning or afternoon.

    The school was funded so that it can offer a free educational/learning opportunity for those who couldn’t otherwise afford it. What is so unique and amazing about the school, is that the children come of their own accord and truly enjoy their time learning from the international volunteers.

    The children come from the Pul village, as well as five other surrounding villages. Their ages range from 6 to 15. Most currently possess just a basic level of English, but some have been able to start from beginners all the way up to level 5.

    Class sizes are typically between 10-30 students. Classrooms are equipped with basic teaching resources, such as a whiteboard and flashcards.


    Why choose this project?

    The project helps village children’s educational prospects providing them with learning tools that empower students to create a better future for themselves. It is a great project to gain invaluable, practical experience in teaching while assisting the local staff by providing an extra hand.


    Role of the volunteer

    Teaching takes place in a traditional classroom setting. You will need to remain within the scope of the established curriculum and its schedule, but you will be encouraged to be creative in your lesson planning. Volunteers can expect to work alongside other local teachers and volunteers. This could mean 3-5 participants taking turns with providing instruction during the course of the session. This allows for smaller group engagement and one-on-one help for students who may be having challenges.

    To facilitate maximum learning and comprehension, you will need to continue the pace that has been set by school directors for the class you are working with. In order to ensure that the material is covered fully and the schedule is maintained, you will not be allowed to skip ahead. All participants will follow the prescribed curriculum and provide adequate reviews, which will allow students to be better prepared for weekly progress and end of year assessment tests.

    You are highly encouraged to bring small learning materials and items to use in your class and/or donate to our school. These things are gratefully received and help to broaden the curriculum and teaching possibilities that we can offer.


    Skills Required

    Besides passing on your English knowledge test, you will also need to be able to share some basic hygiene and sanitation routines, as well as, your own experiences and cultural background. A love for children and patience is essential for this project.
