Instructions on how to apply a Global English Speaker (non-Native)

 

Global English Teaching Artists

Global English Teaching Artists are a diverse, passionate group of teachers from all around the world. They speak and teach English at native-language levels.

Because they know the challenges and the triumphs of learning a new language and living in a new country, they are excellent role models with a “you can do this too” attitude. They share their international experiences and home cultures directly in the lessons and activities they deliver. Global English Instructors encourage, support and challenge young learners to broaden their perspectives, one conversation at a time.

We are currently building our Global English Teaching Artist team to teach our programs throughout Germany this Spring and Summer. We work in grades 5 - 12 offering English instruction through cultural exchange, play and creative activities.

The Work

You will work with a team of 3-5 instructors at a German Youth Hostel. Together you will teach and care for campers between the ages of 10-16.

You will lead workshops, sports activities, arts programs, social activities, and immersive English exercises for the students. You and your team will take care of the young people for 6-days in a camp that begins on Sunday and ends of a Friday afternoon.

Our camps are fun environments for students to practice their English in a non-formal setting. We do not teach languages lesson through a traditional grammar approach but rather through projects based work.

If you are a responsible English speaker with a true interest in supporting and working with young people InterACT’s camps are a great chance to make an impact.

Are you ready to join a community of already 70+ creative immigrants?
