Do you speak English at an intermediate level?
Do you love God and people? Do you want to be a blessing to others? “Teach” cross-culturally
using our International School of English DVD
Course.
Start a school, make contacts, develop relationships, share the
gospel,
begin a Bible
study…and more! Who knows where God might lead you?
Your “teaching” is, in reality, serving as a class
facilitator. We call this vital position, the paraprofessional.
You would monitor
the progress of the students, pass out tests and cover sheets,
collect the textbooks after each class session, prepare for
each lesson
by providing the necessary materials, grade tests, keep attendance
records, be sure the class is listening to the DVD teacher and
staying on task, set up the DVD player, speakers, TV or video
projector, put desk/tables and chairs in order, store materials
in a safe place, etc..
But one of the key aspects about being the paraprofessional (the
classroom facilitator) is the built-in opportunity to spend
an ample amount of quality time with the students on a regular
basis. Each class session is from 60-90 minutes in
length and generally about half that time is
deliberately set aside for the paraprofessional
to
interact with the students. This is where you assist the students
with their
assigned seatwork. Do they understand the instructions? Do
they know how to do the assigned task? Are they working productively
with their
partner? As you encourage the students in their language
acquisition, you are automatically developing positive
relationships with each
student. In so doing, trust is also being nurtured
and opportunities to share God’s love will become a natural
byproduct.
