Teach English in China! American and European volunteers share their vast backgrounds in teaching, business, and life in general. Many English teaching volunteers employ special activities that consistently worked in their own classroom, and find that they are no less exciting in China. We believe the best way to teach a language is to introduce the students to the country's culture at the same time. Volunteers bring new teaching materials, family and community photos, tapes and books to show, but most importantly they bring their life experiences and stories to share with students. In this way, students are better able to understand other cultures, and in turn, more easily understand the English language. Working in small groups, volunteers encourage interaction and exchange, and by providing encouragement, stimulate students to excel.

Each summer, Global Volunteers provides teachers to help teach students conversational English in a non-traditional setting. Often, classes are held outdoors or through the use of field trips to stimulate student interests and participation.
