You will be first and foremost teaching English! You will have to enforce critical skills in reading, writing, listening and speaking. You will be given resources but you will have to create your own fun and educational activities as well. You have to incorporate some elements of your own culture to engage with the children in a fun and educational manner. 

• Assistants have to incorporate other subjects into their lessons. You can combine history or music into a lesson to engage more with the children. You will be put in a role model position and it is important that you act accordingly. Students will look up to you as you will be representing your home country and the program. 

• Be available to assist other teachers should they need help. This can include brainstorming, examination assistance, or even help other teachers to improve their English. You may also be asked to take part in extra-curricular activities at the school. A school week may consist of 14-20 working hours per week. • You will also enjoy the same privileges in terms of school and public holidays as other teachers.
