EIL Intercultural Learning

The teaching is great. My classes are 30 minutes long and there is always a Chinese teacher in the room to help you if you have any communication or discipline problems. The staff at the kindergarten are so lovely and accommodating and really do appreciate you being there. I try my hardest to make the classes as interesting a possible for the kids so I teach them through song and games.

I arrived late in the afternoon on my first day. I was met at the airport by Shelley one of the staff members of the host organisation in China. On arrival at the volunteer  flat(where all volunteers stay for thier introduction week) I met all the other staff and the other volunteers here.
The first week was a busy one.

The school had a very good atmosphere of care and a fine standard of work. All the teachers were young and very hardworking. I loved it all – I learnt a lot / I don’t think our contribution was vast but everyone was very accepting and appreciative.

We are deeply impressed by the foreign volunteers willingness to work hard at no profit to themselves to help us. Knowing that they have traveled a long way from their comfortable western homes, to work on our small island campus we are greatly moved by their generosity and they have our deep gratitude.
