Purpose:
To connect your students with native English practice through the service of American high school and college age language diplomats. To ensure ease of communication, at least one volunteer has some experience with Mandarin Chinese prior to their volunteer service.
Besides providing your students increased exposure to the English language and American students, as a teacher you also can create international friendships with the American volunteers and learn current English slang!

Practice English with native speakers
Practice English with native speakers
Our volunteer teachers are eager to provide native English instruction in whatever way you think best suits your students. Typically, this has included Chinese students asking questions using their lesson's key vocab, giving presentations on topics related to the lesson, or Chinese students answering questions themselves. We are open to whatever method you think works best!
Our volunteer teachers receive pre-service training to ensure they are prepared to match their vocabulary to the level of your class: be it beginner introductions or advanced topics like climate change.

Language diplomats are available to serve your classroom in whatever way is most convenient for you.
Based on your preferences, language diplomats will use either WeChat or Voov (Tencent) Meeting to talk with you and your students. This can be during your English class time, meeting on the weekends, or whenever you would like. We are available to call as frequently as you would like: for 10 minutes or 1 hour, 1x per month or twice per week!

In order to learn about the diversity of America, we will provide you with two langauge diplomats from different regions of the US. This way, your students can learn about the many interesting differences between language diplomats while also developing friendships as you and your students get to know them better and better!
