Teaching in Asia Program: The Crane House is currently recruiting participants for an exciting summer Teaching in Asia program. Educators will spend three weeks in China and Vietnam working with Asian teachers and students to improve English communication skills and to promote cultural understanding between our countries. This is a truly unique experience and participants always return with memories to last a lifetime. The tentative dates for the program are July 5 - August 2 (which includes travel time and an optional extension tour). They will be working in Funan, Fuzhou, Jiujiang, Shaoguan and Tieling in China and Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam.
