English Teacher in Madagascar

Job description

We are looking for U.S. citizens who want to be a part of something bigger and are willing to go the distance to make a difference. Is that you?

In more than 60 countries, Peace Corps Volunteers are putting their purpose, passion, and skills to work in partnership with welcoming host communities – growing, teaching, learning, and making change together.

As a Peace Corps Volunteer, you'll live and work alongside community members on locally prioritized projects, receiving a stipend and other support as you immerse yourself in a new culture. You’ll build relationships, exchange knowledge, and help transform lives for generations.

About the project

Students and teachers across Madagascar are eager to strengthen their English skills with a native speaker.

Madagascar faces ongoing challenges in providing consistent, high-quality English instruction. Large class sizes, limited teaching materials, and a shortage of trained English educators make it difficult for students to build strong communication skills. Strong English proficiency opens doors to academic advancement, international programs and scholarships, and employment opportunities in fields such as tourism, technology, and health. Investing in English education is critical for the future of Malagasy students. External support is required to help address gaps in knowledge and strengthen English learning nationwide.

As an English Teacher, you will collaborate with school staff to provide meaningful English learning experiences that complement the curriculum. Alongside educators, you will develop interactive lessons, encourage classroom participation, and build students’ confidence using English. By sharing teaching strategies and resources, you will also strengthen the teachers’ capacities to deliver effective English lessons. Your efforts will contribute to stronger professional networks for educators and improved English outcomes nationwide.
