Youth Development through English Practice Activities. Peace Corps Publication No. M0109

English practice activities can be a great medium for positive youth development. Worldwide, young people are aware of the increased opportunities available to those with English language skills, creating a high demand for quality English education. As a result, Youth in Development Peace Corps Volunteers (PCVs) are often asked to teach English. The purpose of this Idea Book is to support PCVs with limited teaching experience to meet the expressed needs of the young people in their communities by offering youth nonformal English practice. This Idea Book offers strategies PCVs can use to create and facilitate their own English practice youth group, as well as practical activities that can be used in an extracurricular setting. The book also provides advice and real-world examples contributed by committed Volunteers.
