1 testimonial about this trip

  1. Reviewer: Paula Sadler located in MN
    "Even though I did not speak one word of Polish when I arrived, I formed a very close bond with my students. We stumbled trying to understand each other, but the messages got through. They taught me that teenagers all over the world are the same. We laughed a lot! This experience renewed my enthusiasm for teaching. I remembered that I love working with teenagers - their spirit, energy and creativity were amazing."

Teaching in PolandYou're needed to assist with three very important projects:

    Teaching conversational English to youth and adults.
    Providing care and English tutoring for children from dysfunctional families at an after-school shelter.
    Providing care and English language instruction to adults with physical and/or mental disabilities.

Teaching:
In the spring or fall, you'll work with elementary and middle school students in a conventional classroom setting. The emphasis is on improving real-life speaking skills and not on formal rules of grammar. If you join a summer team, you'll teach conversational English in informal language camps designed for either elementary and middle school students and high school students. The camps are centered on small-group classes (three to ten students) and optional organized activities and excursions. The environment is relaxed and decidedly less formal than that of the spring and fall programs.
After-school tutoring:
Work with vulnerable and at-risk elementary school children from dysfunctional homes. Help them study and complete homework assignments and work with them on social skills.
Special needs assistance:
At "Caritas" Institute, serving adults (primarily between the ages of 18 and 50) with physical or mental disabilities, you will conduct English language classes using games, picture books and worksheets. You may also assist in art classes, physical activities with some therapeutic value, and also provide much-needed adult companionship. Volunteers with special education or physical therapy skills can employ their professional talents at this work site.
