September 2012 Monthly Achievement Report
GVI
Laos acknowledges the last training session for volunteers delivered
by Sam Kurikawa – GVI Staff.
For 16 months GVI Laos has
been delivering a 5 hour TEFL Training Program in the first week of
new volunteers on the teaching English projects under the
facilitation by Sam Kurikawa – GVI Staff. Sam delivered her last
training session in her final week with GVI.
The TEFL Training Program written by Sam, is comprised of 3 Input Sessions. Session1 is delivered on Sunday evenings for 1.5 hours and focuses on easing anxieties volunteers may have at the thought of teaching English as a foreign language and as a broad introduction to teaching English in Laos.
Session 2 follows a
demonstration lesson delivered by a GVI Staff Member on Monday
morning. This session has the practical and theoretical components of
Lesson Planning – an important skill in delivering effective
lessons to our students. Session 3 is titled “Boost Your Teaching!”
This session aims at developing additional skills for GVI volunteers
– using text in a TEFL classroom, effectiveness of gestures in
aiding memory, adapting course books, error correction, looking at
student abilities, classroom management, using games and activities
and top tips to making the classroom experience fun and effective.
GVI Laos has delivered
this training every fortnight for the past 16 months to all new
volunteers – well over 100 volunteers have received the benefit of
this training to enhance their participation and skills whilst
working with Lao students. A huge thank you to Sam Kurikawa for her
professional approach to both the construction and the delivery of
this training.
