Bridging the World Summer Camps
COME WITH US, SEE CHINA AND TEACH ENGLISH TO EAGER STUDENTS! The next trip to China will take place from July 11 - July 30 and July 26 - August 13, 2012. You will be under the direct supervision of one of the BTW Camp Directors from the States. This means that you will have an experienced leader there with you at all times. You will be teaching conversational English to students ranging in age from 7 - 20 years old.
You will teach from 9:00 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. After lunch you will participate in sports, crafts, and other activities such as singing, drama, and English Corner (small group conversation) designed to enhance the students’ spoken English in an informal atmosphere. In the evenings the Chinese students and American teachers will participate together in a birthday party, talent show, and various activities during the two weeks of English camp.
What you will experience: You will need to raise $2700 for this trip. This will include your international air travel, local travel, travel insurance, room and board. You will also want to take a modest amount of funds to buy items for yourself or gifts and souvenirs to bring back. For those wishing to take family with them, or where more than one family member wishes to participate as a team member, discounts can be found at the bottom of this page.
After the two week camp, the American teachers will gather in Beijing to share their camp experiences and tour key places in and around the city of Beijing. There might also be the opportunity to meet and talk with other Americans working in China. You do not need to know the Chinese language, nor do you need to be a certified teacher. We have a “curriculum” of proven lesson plans which we use to train non-teachers for use in the classroom. As a “teacher” you will be using your everyday spoken English as a teaching tool.
If you go we promise you that this will be a life changing experience. The things that you accomplish will last for eternity. We will be glad to send you an application. Click here to email us your information on where to email or send the 2012 BTW Summer Camp application.
