English is the national language of Uganda but it’s not the first language of many people. Therefore, Ugandans mostly learn to speak and write in English in schools. The quality of the education the school provides under this situation becomes very important if ordinary Ugandans are to learn English well.
For the poor, they have no choice except to send their children to resource poor schools that employ untrained teachers. The teachers unable to groom their young students well in English and the children often grow up not developing the ability to read and write well in English. This severely restricts their chances of have a good career as ability to write and speak well in English is very important in Uganda. To change this situation, RCDP has started Teaching English project where we invite our volunteers to Teach English in schools. So join the project now and help young Ugandans children have a good career.
No specific qualification needed. We do however expect our volunteers to be fluent English speakers (not necessarily native English speakers). Volunteers should also be flexible and patient. No previous teaching experience is required.
You will work alongside the full time teacher helping and facilitating then. As you get acquainted with the school and the curriculum, you can start to teach on your own. You will follow the official curriculum and teaching materials but volunteers can always take extra initiative and teach more stuff. You are encouraged to hold discussions and debates as this will often increase the children’s ability to comprehend English better.
Besides teaching, you can also take part or organize in extracurricular activities like games and plays.
During the holidays, volunteers won’t be able to teach in the school.
RCDP will look after your entire needs during your project work. During the project, you will stay with a host family. Our host family will provide you with a safe and secure location to stay. They have been carefully screened and chosen. The host families will have experience of hosting international volunteers before and they’ll be warm and welcoming to our volunteers. Besides this, you’ll be provided a separate room to stay and served 3 local meals a day that are prepared hygienically. Staying with a host family is a wonderful way to learn about the lifestyles and cultures of Ugandan people. RCDP will also contact you in between (roughly after 2/3 weeks) to inquire if you are satisfied with the project.
