Help teach English as a second language in Community Language Program classes
Do you want to teach English professionally, perhaps as a second language? Are you looking for experience? Are you interested in culture and people? The English Department invites you to partner with the Newberg community as an English teacher in our Community Language Program!
Classes will take place at Edwards Elementary School on Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 to 8:30 p.m. You can choose to participate on only Tuesdays, only Thursdays, or both!
At each session, you and a few other college students will be in charge of teaching either English or Spanish as a second language. Tasks will include lesson planning, in-class instruction, teacher debriefing and logistical coordination. Teamwork is everything in this job, so good communication is essential, both with your fellow teachers and with your students.
When you’re in the classroom, instruction can look like whiteboard grammar lessons, whole-group games, partner activity work, and casual conversation practice. If you’re not in front of the class on the whiteboard, you’ll be floating around the classroom observing and aiding any students who need help.
Most importantly, you’ll have so much fun! You’ll get so much out of this experience, and you’ll make special connections with your students. You’ll also have something incredible to add to your CV, resume, and/or graduate school and job applications.
