AMIDEAST, an American NGO dedicated to improving understanding between Americans and the peoples of the Middle East and North Africa, has positions open at its Yemen offices for TEFL/CELTA certified teachers with native or native-like proficiency in North American English. Teachers will be taking part in a special initiative to teach English to underserved Arab youth in order to help them obtain greater academic and professional opportunities. This position is ideal for entry-level teachers or anyone looking to improve their teaching skills by working with mentors in a guided, structured, and supportive atmosphere.

Teachers can expect to work four to six hours per day (two to three classes per day), five days per week. Sessions last for five weeks and there are one-week breaks between sessions. Teacher salary ranges from $10 to $13 per hour, depending upon experience and qualifications. Shared housing, round-trip transportation to home of origin, and residency processing are also provided for teachers able to make a one-year commitment. Teachers must be willing to teach at different locales in Yemen and be able to start in either November or December 2005.

Qualified and interested applicants should e-mail Edward Prados ( [email protected] ) for application procedures and additional information.

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.

 

Coarse books and material aids for teaching are teachers best friend to encourage students to have fun learning English. Authentic materials are interesting, motivating, and the students will gain confidence once they learn them. Created materials are practically for beginner or less creative teachers like me. Using coarse books, the teacher can omit,replace, supplement, and adapt materials to suit her teaching objectives.This unit looks at some of the principles of classroom management, such as establishing rapport, motivating students, organizing the room and maintaining discipline. As an experienced classroom teacher most of it was rather self-evident, but I am sure it would be useful for new teachers. In any case, it is always good to review good teaching practice and have the opportunity to pause and re-evaluate my own teaching style.
