Lorosae English Language Institute, (LELI - also known as East Timor English Language Institute), Dili, East Timor, is seeking qualified teachers to teach English to adult learners.
There will be positions available in Dili starting in September 2006.
Dili is the capital of the newest country in the world. After a 25 year struggle for independence from Indonesia, East Timor is facing many challenges as it establishes itself as a new nation. One of these challenges is the capacity of Timorese human resources to relate to the rest of the world using English. The incumbents will be charged with teaching Timorese learners working in Government, international donor agencies, NGOs, embassies and some private enterprises.

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

 

This unit has listed out the many common resources often provided in a classroom. It illustrates how modern technology such as interactive white boards and computers can make lesson delivery more effective, and teachers should continue to look out for new technology that could enhance their teaching effectiveness. There are many useful, and often free, online resources available to teachers for planning their lessons.This unit gives guidelines as to how the teacher should engage the students so as to get them involved in the lesson. The unit reinforces concepts and techniques that teachers can use to motivate students, while engaging them in the lesson. I have learned that there are various methods that can be employed to get students to participate in a lesson and to build the vocabulary of the language through various scenarios.
