Cultural Exchange - Teach English and Lessons in American Culture
Created through partnerships between Passages and Chinese educational institutions, this program allows American students to experience Chinese culture from a "real-life" perspective.

All English instructors will receive the following:

• Placement as an English instructor of Chinese elementary and secondary students
• Round-trip airfare from San Francisco to destination city
• Accommodations and most meals for duration of program (approx. one month)
• Pre-assignment orientation and TESL training
