Details
For over 30 years, ELIC has been invited by the Chinese government to train over 75,000 English teachers in conversational English and teaching methodologies. This summer, you have the opportunity to reach the unreached by meeting and working with these English teachers from some of the most remote villages across the nation. In an honor/shame society where there is a high emphasis on success, these teachers will thrive when you show them their value as educators, teach them to have fun in the classroom, and show them hope that exists outside of a successful career. When you are not teaching, you will be able to explore the city, talk with locals, and experience the local culture. You will have the unique opportunity to pour into the lives of these dear teachers, building deep friendships and bringing hope and love. The encouragement and creativity you offer will be invaluable to them, and in turn, you will be blessed by their love and generosity.
