Our Volunteer Program has been carefully crafted to ensure that your experience is as rewarding and enjoyable as possible - for you, and for your students. The 8 week program includes 2 weeks of abbreviated TEFL / TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) training at our training center in Phnom Penh. You will spend 6 weeks teaching and changing lives at one of the LanguageCorps' partner orphanages or schools. In your free time you can enjoy cultural dinners with your peers, trips to the beach and countryside, and all the experiences a country as foreign and unique as Cambodia has to offer.
Phnom Penh is the home of our combined training facility, which hosts the initial training for participants in all the LanguageCorps Asia programs. This facility is the result of a unique partnership between LanguageCorps and Pannasastra University. Volunteer accommodations are provided in a villa or guesthouse in central Phnom Penh near the famous Russian Market. This convenient location provides easy access to sights and amenities, and is approximately 10-12 minutes from the University and the center of town. Teaching assignments will be at a LanguageCorps affiliated orphanage or school, where you will be working with children or young adults. Most of the students are fifteen or younger, and are eager for the opportunity to learn English - which they may then leverage into jobs as English teachers, working in Tourism, or other professions such as computer science.
The first 2 weeks of the program will be spent in basic TEFL / TESOL training. This course will give you many of the skills and experiences necessary to make your teaching adventure a successful one. As part of the training process, you will be taught some of the basics of Cambodian language and culture, further acclimating you to your new environment. With the groundwork for success laid, you will be ready to move on to your 6 week teaching assignment. Transportation is provided to and from your teaching assignment. This program was designed to allow you to spend the bulk of your time teaching, rather than in training. However, if you wish to take the full four week training course and achieve TEFL / TESOL certification, please speak with your LanguageCorps representative. You will still be able to volunteer part-time during training, and we'd be happy to work with you to extend your teaching assignment.
