The teacher assistant shadows one or many language teachers during classes at a local school and provides teaching and learning support in whatever way possible. The international volunteering experience acquired during the program will look great on a CV and enhance the participant’s professional career as well as being an excellent opportunity for participants to develop communication/ teaching skills and learn some basics of the destination language. At the same time, the program encourages local students at a school to learn about different cultures and improve their language skills by interacting with a native speaker.
