Children in Hua Hin, Thailand are not given many opportunities to properly learn English. Local teachers' English is not fluent enough, so they inevitably face limitations in teaching the children. That's why just interacting with volunteerscan provide them with more learning opportunities.
Children who rarely meet foreigners and have few opportunities to converse can stay with volunteers, listen to and learn various forms of English, and improve their skills. Moreover, their confidence in speaking with foreigners will also grow.As their English skills improve, children will be able to choose more diverse futures.Please support the children's broader dreams!
|
* Why it's better for children to have as many opportunities as possible to meet foreign teachers! The reason many NGOs around the world teach children English is that children who can use English when they enter the workforce are typically guaranteed wages 2.5 to 3.5 times higher than usual. In a prosperous and stable life, children can imagine a wider range of futures. Children meet foreign teachers to quickly improve their English skills, and participants plan and conduct classes themselves, gaining hands-on experience in the field of education! Please give them wings so the children can freely pursue their dreams. |
