Internships in Honolulu, United States

In the developing world, there are more opportunities to work inside traditional classrooms than in Western countries where increased regulations make it prohibitive. Institute for Global Studies has placed teacher’s aides in colorful locations such as Costa Rica, Brazil, Thailand, and Fiji. Work as a personal assistant to the assigned classroom teacher. They are most helpful when the class breaks up into small groups, and they can work with students one-on-one or in small groups to facilitate the lesson plan. The ability to speak a native level of English is vital in this placement. It helps interns formulate lesson plans, teach the basics of English, and facilitate conversation and grammar with young students. Overseeing field trips is another fun duty. Taking kids into museums and on local excursions can be a great experience for an intern supervisor. Every day is different and the chance to impact young lives is unsurpassed. IGS provides homestay options to foster authentic immersion into the host country. Participants may also opt to stay in a private apartment.
