For Volunteers

COLORS offers volunteers several exciting and resume-boosting opportunities for those interested in language teaching and language research.


The English Practice-teaching Lab

Become a English-language student-teacher and train in our mentored, practice-teaching lab. This authentic, guided, practice-teaching experience can also strengthen your resume and enhance your competitiveness for getting a job teaching English in the US and overseas.

All lesson content is provided to you, and each lesson is supported by a lesson preview session. A teaching coach is with you before/during/after your teaching to share teaching tips/strategies, answer all your questions, and develop your own teaching style.

TESOL student teaching live/online.

No prior teaching experience is necessary…just a love of languages/cultures and an interest in English language teaching.

Become Part of a Research Team

COLORS aims to provide undergraduates and graduates with hands-on, language-research experiences by engaging them in reviews of literature, research designing, data analysis, and data interpretation.

The student-research team as needed each semester to discuss the projects currently underway and exchange ideas. The goal is for each student-researcher to ultimately contribute to a publishable research article.
