Volunteer INDIA Udaipur Teaching Porgram

In recent years, English was introduced into Rajasthan Government Primary Schools, but the teachers were not up-skilled in teaching English as a foreign language. Often their own skills in the English language are limited, so volunteers are able to expose the students to excellent English language models.

Your voluntary teaching work provides you with an opportunity to develop new skills in a very different environment. In addition, your work in the school adds to the educational experience of the children. It is a marvelous experience for them to interact with people from another culture who speak another language. They will learn the things more attentively and enthusiastically, and welcome you open-heartedly. When you leave school in the afternoon you will be content to see that your students have learnt the things taught by you and your efforts are bringing results. This, we are sure, will bring you great personal satisfaction in helping children who have not been so fortunate.

In school, our volunteer’s main responsibilities will include:

• Teaching English - the main focus is on developing Basic English conversational skills and some basic written English skills.
• The students require vocabulary development and basic grammatical structures for spoken and written English.
• Teaching Maths - this is a secondary focus area, as the students take maths with their class teacher during their Hindi classes. However, volunteers can work to further develop English language skills through maths teaching.
• Creating a fun and playful environment with games
• Creating low cost teaching materials and aids
• Monitoring students’ attendance
• Monitoring students’ health and hygiene - e.g. encouraging hand washing in order to protect from spread of germs and maintaining good personal hygiene.
