Peace Corps volunteer to teach in IT school

Monday, October 17, 2011

A PEACE Corps volunteer will teach American language and accent to students of the Negros Occidental Language and Information Technology Center (NOLITC).

Stacie Self, a PCV volunteer of the Welcome Home Foundation, has chosen the NOLITC to be her secondary project in the Philippines. She will tutor and train students of NOLITC every week to expose them to the actual simulation of the English language with a native speaker.

Self said she loves to teach Filipinos how to speak English to help them feel comfortable in using the language and for them to land a job abroad.

The training center has already started its 100-hour English Language Proficiency (ELP) Training for forty skilled workers. This training aims to enhance the English proficiency of skilled workers for them to hurdle the IELTS Exam for possible job outsourcing in Australia and South Korea.

Aside from the ELP, the center also offers other competency-based training programs like Finishing Course for Call Center Agents NCIII and Contact Center Services NCII. (TED)
