A Week at the Schools

This week Teaching Children volunteers and TEFL volunteers all spent their weeks in local primary and secondary schools. All together volunteers worked in 12 different schools throughout Ao Luk providing English lessons for local youth.

Many of the schools were training for a district wide English competition the following week and some volunteers had the opportunity to coach students in speech, spelling, role plays and crosswords (Thailand's version of Scrabble).

After 4 weeks of TEFL training and teaching adults in the community TEFL volunteers, experienced a new classroom challenge. Teaching children was a whole different game. In the beginning it was exhausting and challenging but by the end of the week everyone had a great time. The schools, their teachers and students were warm and welcoming and made the volunteers feel like an important part of their learning community.
