Project description
Whether you're a recent graduate, mid-career professional, or retiree, you can make a real impact on English education in Montenegro.
Montenegro is prioritizing English language learning, as its economy relies heavily on the tourism industry. Although the country is small, development is uneven across regions. English proficiency is increasingly essential for educational, employment, and global opportunities. Many schools—particularly in rural areas—face challenges, such as limited access to modern teaching resources and a lack of student-centered methodologies, which can hinder effective language acquisition and classroom engagement.
As an English Teacher, you’ll address these gaps by teaching alongside local teachers, supporting students’ language and life skills development, and broadening learning opportunities to the surrounding community. Your collaborative work will enhance English proficiency, promote innovative teaching practices, and foster mutual understanding. You’ll contribute to the country's educational reform and global integration goals while developing your own personal and professional skills.
