Date posted:2006-06-06 | Writer: Plymouth College of Further Education | Email: [email protected]

Plymouth College of Further Education has two vacancies for native-speaking English teachers at its vibrant partner high school in Anshan, Liaoning, north-east China. The successful applicants will teach 16-18year olds who aspire to future success in IELTs examinations. The friendly high school is a key institution ranked second best out of 250 high schools in the city, with commensurate pupils of ability and commitment. Applicants must be educated to higher education standard, and a teaching qualification and practical experience are desirable, but not essential. Applicants should be aged between 23-55years. More important is the ability to run lively, interesting classes that engage the students in active learning, within a culturally authentic context - didactic grammar teachers need not apply. An enthusiasm to experience Chinese culture would also be a favourable pre-requisite. The package on offer is 6, 000RMB per month for 22hours per week teaching, optional overtime at 80RMB per 40minute class, free meals, excellent free on-site single-occupancy accommodation that is en-suite, and equipped with all mod-cons including free computer and Internet, TV, microwave and washing machine. Perhaps the greatest part of the package is the warmest of welcomes from the school, its staff and pupils. The initial contract would be 11months from early August 2006, with the option of continuing thereafter. The successful applicant would need to pay their own airfare to China, but would have their return airfare paid by the school. Applicants must have at least 12 months remaining on their current passport. Interested parties should forward their CV, passport photo, and copy certificates to John Middleton at [email protected] .
