Teach English in Beautiful Bahia, Brazil (Volunteer/Intern)

English teaching opportunity available to volunteers or interns interested in teaching classes to children and youth, as well as one or two possible adult classes as well. Teachers receive support from the English Project Coordinator or an ETIV staff member (if a coordinator is not available), although it is highly recommended that applicants have some background or/or experience with teaching English prior to applying for this position. We currently have 5 English classes running and they are spread out in different places around Itacare. Some classes take place at our own ETIV learning space while other are taking place in a local church and another in our local capoeira school. The ETIV English Program focuses mainly on targeting low income children and youth who attend public schools and/or who would not otherwise have the opportunity to receive quality English classes. Volunteers are expected to support development of the curriculum while also preparing the lessons plans and documenting everything so that it can be re-used and built upon in the future. All teachers must take attendance and document outcomes including successes, challenges and best practices for every class. It is also expected to teach many of the core values that lay the foundation for ETIV's work. These include: mutual respect, acceptance, cultural appreciation, caring for each other, speaking the truth, acting honestly and transparently,and caring for each other, the environment and animals.
