| Title: |
Volunteer in a Vietnam university |
| Description: |
Duy Tan University is a private, non-profit educational institution located in central Danang, with 5000 students. Duy Tan University is making a considerable contribution to the socio-economic development of Vietnam. Volunteers can contribute by teaching in the following disciplines: English for English Major Students (pronunciation, speaking, writing, culture, and literature), English for Non-English Major Students (communication skills, entrepreneurial skills, international marketing and finance, and tourism management), and English for Lecturers and Staff, English for IT Lecturers and Students (English for computer networks, English for programming, networking administration training, and IT support). At Da Nang University volunteers will be working with teachers from the Department of English, of the College of Foreign Language to provide lessons in conversation, listening and cross cultural communication (American/British Cultural). The students in these classes are often teachers and those who want to improve their English skills to work in translation and interpretation. There are also many students from local businesses and government in Da Nang city. At night time volunteers can arrange to spend their time improving the listening and speaking skills of students at Olympia Language Center. Most of the students at this school are economic, business and engineering students. The volunteers usually teach 16 to 22 periods (45 minutes) per week, each of the above schools will have a meeting after the volunteer’s arrival to discuss the classes and arrange a schedule for their lessons. Assistant teachers are sometimes available to help volunteers with class management when required. Volunteers may also be requested to support the University by helping with English documents and attending the English Clubs. The school is open Monday through Saturday, but volunteers will normally work Monday through Friday. Classes begin at 7:00am and end at 5:00pm with a midday break from 11:00am to 1:00pm. Teaching French: We currently have opportunities for French speaking volunteers to teach classes at Da Nang University. The Da Nang University French Department has 15 teachers and 300 students and offers majors in Translation and French Teaching. Volunteers in the French Program are required to help students in French Speaking, Writing, Listening and Cultural Studies. |
