Online English teaching and tutoring volunteer Opportunities with MCC

1. MCC是什么样的组织?怎么和中文学校建立的合作关系?

MCC,全称My Culture Connect, 又名台湾彰化县人师教育协会。成立于98年1月1日,是以培养学识和品德兼具的志愿者老师,提升彰化地区教育与文化水准为宗旨的非盈利社会团体。华社中文学校ESL老师Eric Berman就是MCC的志愿英语老师,感谢他的热心帮助,促成中文学校和MCC的合作。通过以下MCC中英文网站可以了解更多信息。

MCC中文网站https://www.twrses.org/RS

MCC英文网站https://www.mycultureconnect.org/

2. 为什么要和MCC展开合作?对中文学校的学生有什么益处?

华社中文学校作为非盈利组织,致力于华人子女的中文教育和文化传承,以服务社区,回馈社会为宗旨。学校行政团队一直希望拓宽志愿服务范围,为中文学校的学生寻求更多 的志愿服务机会。同样作为NGO组织的MCC是我们目前能找到的契合学校服务宗旨的 合作伙伴。通过MCC的志愿项目,中文学校的学生

有机会利用自己的英语特长和双语优势力所能及地帮助有需要的人,体会付出的充实和快乐。

在教授英语的过程中,提高社交能力,解决问题的能力和坚持做事的毅力,增强做人做事的责任感。

开阔眼界,促进语言和文化交流。台湾也是中华文化的传承人,对于生长在美国的 ABC来讲,与台湾学生的互动可以了解地球村中其他华人的生活和文化,也可以提高自己的中文水平和兴趣。

丰富学习生活和成长阅历,为未来的大学申请助力。

3. MCC英文教育志愿项目对志愿者有什么要求?

本次志愿项目没有年龄限制,我们相信有爱心,耐心,责任心,当然还要有时间(大概每周30分钟-1小时)的学生都可以胜任这项志愿工作。为帮助你做出适合的决定,请看以 下相关视频。

为此次合作,MCC专门为中文学校拍摄了英文视频。

1. What is MCC? How do we know MCC?

MCC, My Culture Connect, also known as Taiwan Changhua County People‘s Teacher Education Association, was founded on January 1, 1998. It is a non-profit social organization with the purpose of training volunteer teachers to help in areas that lack educational resources, and improving the English education and global understanding of the Changhua area. Eric Berman, an ESL teacher of the Chinese Community Chinese School, is a volunteer English teacher of MCC. Thanks to his enthusiastic help, the Chinese school got to establish a connection with MCC. More information can be found on the following MCC Chinese and English websites.

Chinese Version: https://www.twrses.org/RS English Version: https://www.mycultureconnect.org/

2. Why do we establish the volunteer service partnership with MCC? What are the benefits for Chinese school students?

Being a part of the Chinese Community Center (CCC), CCC Chinese School is dedicated to the Chinese language education and cultural heritage of Chinese American’s young generation, the ultimate goal of Chinese school is serving the community and giving back to the society. As of that, the school administration team wants to seek more volunteer service opportunities for Chinese school students. MCC, which is also an NGO organization as CCC, is the partner we can find that fits the school's commission. Through MCC's voluntary program, Chinese school students will

Have the opportunity to use their English background and bilingual advantages to help the students in need, gain satisfaction and happiness in helping others.

Improve social skills, problem-solving skills, perseverance and the sense of responsibility when teaching and tutoring others in need.

Promote language and cultural exchanges. Taiwan is also the inheritor of Chinese Culture. For ABCs who grew up in the US, this volunteer opportunity will give them chances to know the life and culture of Chinese in “Global Village”. Furthermore, it may also boost their interest in Chinese language and culture as well.

Enrich their life experience by bringing a positive impact to others, which is a good plus to the future college application as well.

3. What kind of volunteer does the MCC English tutoring program need?
There is no age limit for this volunteer program. We believe that students who are caring, patient, responsible, and of course have a little free time (about 30 minutes to 1 hour per week) are qualified for this volunteer work. You can choose either 1-on-1 tutoring or co-teaching whichever fits for you. The videos below provide more information about this volunteer program, and will help you make the right decision.

For this partnership, MCC specially made an English video for Chinese schools. Introduction to the CCC Chinese School Volunteer Partnership with MCC Please watch the video for details: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvQm_n2ozSI
