Job Teaching EFL in Ecuador

Date posted:2015-06-04 | Writer: CEDEI School | Email: [email protected]

CEDEI School is a part of the CEDEI non-profit foundation, a non-traditional, dual language, content-based preschool to early high school. We are seeking motivated and creative teachers with a minimum of a bachelor’s degree plus TEFL to begin August 2015-July 2016.

Our school is guided by the following philosophical tenets:

• Multiple Intelligences

• English as an instrumental language

• French as a third language

• Inclusion of children with special needs

• Multiculturalism

• Emotional stability as a prerequisite to learning

• Music, movement, and art as expressions of self

• Development of critical thinking skills

Details:

We are located in Cuenca, a beautiful colonial city, large and modern enough to meet all your needs but still compact enough to retain a quaint, small city feeling. Cuenca is a walking city, and teachers can obtain all their needs within the city center. Teachers can enjoy a variety of parks, green spaces, free cultural events such as a symphony and art expositions, and the national park and ruins located a short distance from the city. Ecuador is small enough to allow one to travel throughout the three main regions: beach, mountains, and rainforest during breaks and on weekends. The climate is ideal with spring-like temperatures throughout the year. In recent years Cuenca has become a hot spot for foreigners looking to relocate.

Duties: 7:15 to 1:45 Monday to Thursday, 22 teaching periods per week, with 10 planning periods per week.

The position includes free Spanish and Salsa classes.

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.

 

The unit was very helpful to me. It highlighted the characteristics of good teachers and good learners. I also liked the part about the different levels of learners and what to expect from learners in each level. The part about teachers roles such as manager, facilitator, controller, assessor, prompter, etc. was helpful and it made me think of the role I like to play when I become a teacher.This unit has assisted me in learning and understanding about conditionals and reported speech.Relating to grammar conditionals can be very useful in knowing which condition satisfies which statement.i have learnt that there are two types of reported speech such as direct and indirect speech. I have also learnt how certain tenses can be changed when using direct speech. A useful unit indeed.
