Co-facilitate English Conversation Clubs for Colombian Students
hace 3 semanas
The Municipality of Santa María, Boyacá, is a local government entity serving 3,758 residents in a rural community located four hours from Bogotá. Current local priorities focus on strengthening education and fostering economic opportunities through tourism and agriculture. Within this framework, the municipality created the bilingualism program "Aprender inglés, transformar vidas," which focuses on improving English proficiency among secondary students and enhancing the pedagogical and linguistic skills of local teachers.
Santa María faces limited access to qualified English teachers and students often lack opportunities to practice with native speakers, reducing their competitiveness for higher education and employment. To address these needs, the municipality is requesting the support a Virtual Service Pilot Participant who will co-facilitate English learning and conversation spaces for secondary students.
While Peace Corps Colombia does not currently deploy two-year Volunteers to Santa María, the scale of this project in rural areas makes it well-suited for virtual engagement. The virtual environment offers an appropriate and sustainable way to provide targeted technical support while fostering intercultural exchange.
The organization has not previously collaborated with the Peace Corps. They understand that the role of a VSPP is very different than a Peace Corps Volunteer or Peace Corps Response Volunteer.
Desired Qualifications
Education: Master's degree in education, secondary education, or related field and/or relevant certification: TEFL, TESOL, Cambridge, or similar
Experience:
• Virtual engagement and communication
• Living in Colombia or Latin America
• Teaching at the secondary or university level
Required Skills
Education: Bachelor's degree in any field
Language: Intermediate Spanish
Experience: 1 year of TEFL/TESOL teaching for primary or secondary school students in the U.S.A. or abroad
Intercultural skills and motivation: Flexible, strong cross-cultural agility, high tolerance for ambiguity, able to work independently, resourceful, creative, and genuinely motivated and capable to serve virtually
Host Country Partner's Mission and Goals
The small town of Santa Mara, Boyacá works to improve education, social development, and economic opportunities for its residents. Through the bilingualism program "Aprender inglés, transformar vidas," our goal is to strengthen English skills among youth and enhance teacher training, preparing youth for higher education, employment, and contributing to the long-term competitiveness of the small town.
Virtual Service Engagement and Tasks
The VSPP will engage in the following tasks, in collaboration with their host country partners:
• Co-assess the English language levels of participating students
• Co-design session plans for English club meetings for high school students (grades 8–11)
• Co-teach one 1.5-hour English club per week with high school students (between 8–10 participants), focused on conversation practice and cultural exchange.
VSPPs are expected to engage on the tasks listed above for an estimated 5–15 hours per week. This engagement is estimated to be 4 hours per week.
Online collaboration will generally occur after school, meaning after 5:00 p.m. Colombia time. Specific times will be determined during orientation.
The Host Country Counterpart will have access to Teams and Zoom calls for regular communication and collaboration.
Per the Child Protection Code of Conduct, when engaging online with minors (0–18), two adults must be present
