Mentoring: One-on-One

Spend time on a weekly basis with an experienced team leader who will pour into your life, helping you grow personally and adjust culturally. Your team leader will also regularly observe your teaching and give you helpful professional advice.  Experienced ELIC teachers in your city also provide counsel and fellowship.

Team: Life on Life

Living in intentional community is an integral part of the Teaching Fellowship Program. We believe that there’s power in the statement, “others will know Who we follow based on how we interact with one another”, and that is the foundation of our approach to team. We are looking for individuals who have a commitment and desire to be part of a close-knit community.

TIZO

The word “TIZO” is Greek for “equip.” During this weekly team meeting, Teaching Fellowship Program participants study the Word in community. Studies vary at different times during the year and serve as a catalyst for personal growth in the context of living in a new culture.

Faculty Meetings

Weekly or bi-weekly your leader will facilitate a meeting in which ideas are shared and special events are planned. These meetings are aimed at professional development and sharing resources.

Periodic Classroom Observations

Your Teaching Fellowship Program team leader will be an experienced teacher who is committed to your development as an instructor. They will periodically observe your classroom teaching and will offer valuable feedback, encouragement, and professional support.

Countries TFP serves in

Vietnam

Vietnam is home to 114 people groups and 90 million engaging faces. 52% of the population is under the age of 24 and Vietnamese people are extremely motivated to learn the English language.

Since joining the World Trade Organization in 2007, Vietnam has quickly moved forward in growing their infrastructure, manufacturing and exports. Vietnam is recognized as one of the rising stars in the global economy. As a Teaching Fellowship Program instructor you will have the amazing privilege of investing in the lives of the future leaders of this vibrant country.

Laos

Small country.  Small population.  Big potential.  Laos is home to 147 distinct people groups, beautiful topography, warm weather and warmer smiles that lead guests to love these gentle, friendly, laid-back people. Education is central to the growth of this developing country and ELIC has the opportunity to send teachers to all of its public colleges and universities.  The Teaching Fellowship Program participants serve at colleges educating the future teachers of the nation.  Impact one student.  That student becomes a teacher and the impact goes on.

China

China is an amazing country that comprises more than one fifth of the world’s population. The largest migration in human history is taking place today as the population streams from the countryside to the urban centers by the hundreds of thousands. It is unlikely that any other single country is destined to have such sweeping global influence in the 21st century as China.

Over the last thirty years, thousands of China’s most gifted students have come through the classrooms of ELIC teachers before taking influential positions in virtually every walk of life. Your passion to serve by teaching in the Teaching Fellowship Program will give you the chance to invest in this great nation, one life at a time.

Mongolia

Mongolia is a country that was frozen in time, largely existing in a nomadic lifestyle until 1990 when the winds of providence opened up the country to global influence.  With Mongolia’s new found freedom, ELIC began to send teachers to this very interesting people.  Since then, Mongolia has rapidly begun to develop and is anticipated to be the fastest growing economy in the world by 2020.  The hearts of these hospitable people are open to new friendships.  Now is the time to invest our lives into teaching and reaching this generation.  Come and see!
