English Proficiency Programme has always drawn its academic support from
the conviction and sincere work contributed by people who are good in
English and ready to spare their time for the cause. Now it is also
feasible for EPP to avail of academic contributions from volunteers who
operate with us online across the internet, just as it has been possible
for quite some time to offer the course online.
A typical 'volunteer' or 'academic contributor' in the EPP team
is a person
- who has a good command over English;
- who wants to use her/his knowledge and skills for the education of others;
- who can actually spare the time needed for it;
- who is equally ready to assume a supporting role as well as to take a lead
as the prime actor, according to the need of the programme; and
- in practical terms, who can be relied upon to set, review and evaluate
assignments according to a well-stated plan.
If you are such a person, you may
volunteer
to join our team and contribute academically.
You may be given a test or two online before any task.
The selection/inclusion of a new volunteer in the team is typically
through such test(s), based on which we try to figure out the level of
her/his
capability indicating which tasks can be entrusted to a particular
team-member.
As his/her own returns/benefit, a volunteer gets
- satisfaction of contributing in a worthy cause,
- further improvement of the grip over the language and its teaching, and
- a remuneration as honorarium.
As a matter of policy, we have never declared any rate of remuneration.
Even when we have been able to give good amounts as honoraria, it has
come to the volunteer as a post-facto pleasant surprise. One reason
behind this policy is that it is difficult to make a rate contract on
such services which are, in fact, invaluable. The more important reason
is that we want to keep the 'volunteering act' safely academic and
delinked from the idea of income, except for those who join the project
in a regular job.
