Program Description:

Laos Teaching English Internship (short-term)

 Cover
Discover the ancient country of Laos when you volunteer with GVI on critical community development projects throughout the city of Luang Prabang
 
Although tourism has picked up in Laos over recent years, it is still one of the poorest countries in the world and is largely an agricultural country. By volunteering in Laos with GVI, you can contribute to sustainable projects that aim to have a long-term impact on the lives of local community members and their futures. 
 
With project focuses ranging in marine and wildlife conservation, childcare, animal care, health care and teaching, there is something for everyone.
Spend your gap year, career break or volunteering holiday exploring a land rich in culture and ornate temples, as you make a difference teaching English to young Buddhist monks or volunteering with children on a variety of childcare initiatives.
  
PROGRAM FOCUS
 
Live and work with other interns in the ancient capital of Laos, Luang Prabang, famous for its many gilded Buddhist temples. Complete a training program, allowing you to learn the basics of teaching English as a foreign language abroad, before going on to support interns, volunteers, and local and international teachers in the classroom environment. 

GVI education interns in Laos teach English at local educational institutions in Luang Prabang from Monday to Friday for approximately 4 to 6 hours a day. Students are aged between 8 and twenty-five years old and the level of English understanding varies from beginner to advanced. Interns have the opportunity to teach a wide range of topics, including grammar, practical language, conversational language, professional language, and subject-based classes. They will have access to educational theory through teaching resources, international and local teachers they will work with, and GVI staff trained in Teaching English as Foreign Language or TEFL. Through working day-to-day on the project they will also earn practical experience teaching abroad. 
 
LOCATION
 
Laos is a Southeast Asian country traversed by the Mekong River and known for mountainous terrain, French colonial architecture, hill tribe settlements and Buddhist monasteries. Travel to the UNESCO listed heritage site of Luang Prabang, the ancient capital of Laos, famous for its many Buddhist temples.
