Teaching English Volunteer Program in Ubud town of Bali, Indonesia

With Bali's rapidly expanding tourism industry, the demand for local English speakers has never been greater. Children may have the opportunity to learn English at school, however this is usually taught by a local Balinese teacher and thus the children never really get to practice their conversational skills or hear native English speakers.

Kindergarten Program Volunteer in Ubud town of Bali, Indonesia

Like in kindergartens throughout the world, the teaching is informal as the children will want to play with you more than to be taught. However, simply by getting them enthused about coming to school, giving them some very basic English phrases such as simple greetings, you may well have sown the seeds of a lifelong learning habit.

The children will all be excited to see you and exceptionally welcoming, partly due to the natural and genuine friendliness of the Balinese, but also due to the fact that you will be one of the few foreigners they have met!
