Last year a student of my acquaintance went on this programme and was very positive about it.
There are 4 two-week sessions, so it is quite flexible.

Subject: [SEELANGS] Teach English and learn Russian in Siberia
Dear Colleagues,
Please let your students know that space is still available on our International Summer Language
School Program and applications are currently being accepted.
'LINKING THE PLANET' International Summer Language School is an educational multi-cultural program
run in a picturesque wooded area outside of the city of Novosibirsk, Siberia, Russia, in four
consecutive two-week sessions, with participation of local Russian children, youth and adults, and
volunteer teachers and international students from around the globe.
The program is a great chance for international participants to learn the Russian language and get a
first-hand experience of the Russian culture and society. It provides the unique cultural
opportunity of daily interaction with the Russian children, youth and adults. The RUSSIAN COURSE is
organized for volunteer teachers and overseas students and includes language studies as well as
learning about the Russian culture, history and society. The cultural and social program of the
school is an extraordinarily enriching and rewarding experience.
At the same time, the program is also a wonderful opportunity to meet colleagues and peers from
other countries, share your knowledge and culture, and have a very worthwhile experience leading to
a greater international understanding through this cross-cultural interaction. For the past few
years volunteer teachers from Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, Denmark, Finland, France,
Germany, Great Britain, Holland, Hong Kong, India, Italy, Malaysia, Singapore, Switzerland, the
United States of America, as well as university students and school children from the USA, Great
Britain and Germany have participated in our summer language school programs.
A student will gain valuable practical experience, proven ability, and contacts that he/she can use
to get a job.
The program combines language instruction (English, German, French, etc., for local students, and
Russian for overseas students and volunteer teachers) with organized activities (arts and crafts
projects, workshops, music and drama, games and contests, art and drawing, inventive engaging
performances and shows, sports and outdoor activities, excursions).
We are looking for VOLUNTEER TEACHERS for the International Summer Language School (TEACHERS of
English, French, German and other languages and subjects levels elementary school through
University, SPECIALISTS in other fields such as computing, music, arts, drama, business, journalism,
etc., UNIVERSITY STUDENTS) who are energetic, enthusiastic, enjoy camp experiences and working with
teenagers, possess love for children and the desire to share their culture.
We also seek people worldwide who are interested in the Russian language and culture (middle school
through university STUDENTS, and ADULTS) and would like to participate in our International Summer
Language School as INTERNATIONAL STUDENTS of the Russian course.
