Virtual Vietnamese as a Second Language Class- Trúc Việt Fall 2024
ORGANIZATION: TRUC VIET
Please visit the new page to apply.
As a TA, you are a powerful force in helping our students learn a new language.
What can I expect?
We have class once a week. Over the course of our 2-hour class sessions, you will work with students in a small group setting with 1-3 students in a breakout room setting on exercises to practice their speaking, reading, writing, and listening skills.
As a new volunteer, you’ll be paired up with a more experienced TA until you are comfortable facilitating a small group by yourself.
WHEN (dates): Classes will be on Tuesdays (VSL) - subject to change-from September through early December in the fall and January through April in the spring. There will not be a class during Thanksgiving break nor spring break (following the AISD calendar). The exact dates will be shared after orientation. You do not need to commit to attending every single class throughout the semester.
WHEN (time): 7 PM - 9 PM CT. If you can, log on at 6:45 to prepare for class and stay until 9:15 for a debrief.
WHERE: Zoom. A webcam is strongly recommended.
WHAT: The teaching material including lessons will be posted in Google Drive and announced through Slack. You will be granted access after orientation.
We continually seek volunteers interested in improving language access and immigrant assistance within the Austin community. Volunteers may participate from any location for the virtual language classes. Truc Viet needs ESL, VSL, and citizenship coaching tutors. Please note that volunteers need to know Vietnamese for the VSL classes. We want our students to be exposed to the diverse dialects of the Vietnamese language
After registering for an event (aka a class date) on VolunteerMatch, please fill out this form so we can get your information. Then the volunteer chair will reach out to you via email to set up an orientation with one on our program leads before you begin class.
We truly appreciate your time. Thank you!
07:00 PM to 09:00 PM CST
