As a teacher with the Summer Teaching Program, you will serve on a team of about 8-10, providing intensive English training to Chinese English teachers. Each instructor on your team will teach a class of about sixteen adults and will spend three hours each weekday morning in classroom instruction focusing on listening and speaking.



A team leader assigned to the team will supervise your teaching and provide you and your team members with support and encouragement throughout the program.

Afternoons and evenings are full of other activities including methodology lectures, which are given by the team leader with the assistance of the team, and cultural demonstrations where the team uses skits, stories and other visual methods to provide insights into aspects of North American culture and history. Your Chinese students reciprocate with similar cultural presentations about their country, using their English skills.

The connections you'll make with Chinese English teachers will provide the foundation needed to help shape the future of this great country. What you'll share and teach to these leaders will be passed on to their own colleagues and students for years to come.
