    Description

    Teaching to Little Buddhist Monks in the Monasteries in Kathmandu Pokhara and Salleri

    Teaching to Little Buddhist Monks in the Monasteries program is designed for people who are interested in religious culture, to teach English in one monastery for a period of two months or more. Volunteer World Nepal can provide longer stays upon request. Volunteers will teach English to the monks, both young and old, for around two to three hours per day. In turn, the monks will share their knowledge and culture with the volunteers. Meditation practice, as well as field trips to Hindu and Buddhist holy sites, will be included in the program.

    As a volunteer in Nepal teaching English to Buddhist monks in a monastery, you will primarily work as an English instructor to the monks. You’ll teach English to monks for 2-4 hours a day. You are encouraged to hold discussions and debates as this will greatly increase your ability to grasp and speak English. Daily activities may include:

    • Teaching English grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation
    • Planning lessons and curriculum development
    • Leading classes to teach basic conversational English
    • Organizing extracurricular activities such as dancing, games, music, sports, art, etc.
    • Helping monks with their homework
    • Assisting monastery administrations
    • Fundraising for the monastery
    • Helping around the monastery
