Volunteers will be based in Rabat, Sale and Marrakech.Volunteers who wish to join the Teaching English project must be fluent in English.
This volunteer program is especially suitable for:
Our program
Our main objective out here is to help deep root cross cultural learning through teaching English.
The main language in Morocco is Arabic, with French being the second language of the majority.English is increasingly becoming the foreign language of choice – particularly due to the high levels of youth unemployment and national economical shift from agriculture to service related industries, such as tourism and telecommunications.
Now English language training has become increasingly sought after., it is important our students adapt to the modernisation of the job market.
With an increase in work opportunities in tourism, business, and higher education, Moroccans are eager to develop their English language skills. They hear French regularly on TV and in songs but they have very little exposure to spoken English.
Volunteering with us is an act of service and opportunity for self-reflection.
The willingness to step outside your comfort zone help our students to learn from volunteers and we our volunteers should be ready for adventure and to make an impact.
Volunteer teaching with the Nobel for Language Speaking Center will provide you with the opportunity to learn about our fascinating country and its people. This experience is available to anyone with an interest in helping others improve their English language skills. You do not need to have any previous teaching experience and we do not require you to take a TEFL course. Whether you want to volunteer during your gap year, career break, or as a volunteer vacation, you will have an important role to play and your efforts will be greatly appreciated.
Rabat has an ancient history but is rapidly modernizing and the English language learning system is also modernizing with it. By having volunteers like you in the classroom, to bring English language and culture alive, it will help to motivate and encourage our students and to make the new language system work.
As a volunteer teacher in Morocco, you will live and work in the vibrant and cosmopolitan capital city of Rabat. The city is a fascinating confluence of old and new and an intriguing blend of African, Spanish, French, and Arabic cultures.
English is the third language in the Moroccan educational system, after Arabic and French, and is taught to students from the age of ten. We offer a good of placement at our language center in Morocco.In whichever one volunteers choose,thier main role will be to teach English and help adults students to improve their conversational skills.
