Teach English and learn Russian in Siberia

[Cosmopolitan]

Dear Colleagues,

Please let your students know that space is still available on our International Summer Language School Program and applications are currently being accepted. 

'LINKING THE PLANET' International Summer Language School is an educational multi-cultural program run in a picturesque wooded area outside of the city of Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia, in four consecutive two-week sessions, with participation of local Russian children, youth and adults, and volunteer teachers and international students from around the globe.

The program is a great chance for international participants to learn the Russian language and get a first-hand experience of the Russian culture and society. It provides the unique cultural opportunity of daily interaction with the Russian children, youth and adults. The RUSSIAN COURSE is organized for volunteer teachers and overseas students and includes language studies as well as learning about the Russian culture, history and society. The cultural and social program of the school is an extraodinarily enriching and rewarding experience.

At the same time, the program is also a wonderful opportunity to meet colleagues and peers from other countries, share your knowledge and culture, and have a very worthwhile experience leading to a greater international understanding through this cross-cultural interaction. For the past few years volunteer teachers from Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, the United States of America, as well as university students and school children from the USA, Great Britain and Germany have participated in our summer language school programs. 

A student will gain valuable practical experience, proven ability, and contacts that he/she can use to get a job. 

The program combines language instruction (English, German, French, etc., for local students, and Russian for overseas students and volunteer teachers) with organized activities (arts and crafts projects, workshops, music and drama, games and contests, art and drawing, inventive engaging performances and shows, sports and outdoor activities, excursions). 

We are looking for VOLUNTEER TEACHERS for the International Summer Language School (TEACHERS of English, French, German and other languages and subjects levels elementary school through University, SPECIALISTS in other fields such as computing, music, arts, drama, business, journalism, etc., UNIVERSITY STUDENTS) who are energetic, enthusiastic, enjoy camp experiences and working with teenagers, possess love for children and the desire to share their culture.

We also seek people worldwide who are interested in the Russian language and culture (middle school through university STUDENTS, and ADULTS) and would like to participate in our International Summer Language School as INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS of the Russian course.
