Arabic Cultural Immersion Project

Gap Year Projects - Arabic Cultural Immersion Project

As the number of people taking a gap year grows, so too does the number of people wanting more than time spent just drifting around the world. More and more gapers are looking for opportunities to deepen their awareness of other cultures and contribute to the quality of life in the communities they visit, rather than just pass by without any meaningful experience.

TEFL International partners with Cultural Extremes to combine training as Teacher of English to Speakers of Other Languages and the opportunity to put your newly acquired skills to work helping others gain essential skills to improve the quality of their life.
