TEFL in Aden, Yemen!

Date posted:2007-05-10 | Writer: American Language Center | Email: [email protected]

American Language Center (ALC) in Yemen is a fun and friendly private establishment that offers short (5 week) courses in English language instruction. Our students are aged 13 to adult and are either sponsored by various organizations or are private students. With native English speakers from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the USA and local Yemeni teachers, ALC is becoming the most popular and successful English language school in the port city of Aden. We are looking to add another native English-speaking teacher to our staff.

Here's a basic contract:

Job: English teacher
Starting date: June 9th, 2007
Requirements: Degree + TESOL or equivalent certification, experience preferred
Place of work: Aden, Republic of Yemen
Contract duration: 6 months or 12 months
Working hours: Full-time (6 hours per day) weekdays. Mornings and/or afternoons depending on class schedule; weekends off
Session duration: 5 weeks (week-long unpaid break follows each session)
Salary (minimum and tax-free): U.S. $700.00 per session (if we pay for your airfare) OR U.S. 900.00 per session (If you pay for your own airfare) the cost of living here is very low.

ALC pays for your entry visa, work permit, shared accommodation and (if you take U.S. 700.00 per session salary) your airfare to and from your country of origin. Optional overtime, free field trips and free Arabic classes are also on offer.

We use New Interchange, Passages, Global Links and Yemeni governmental curricula depending on which class(es) you are assigned. We also conduct TOEFL preparation and computing courses. We have local teachers to handle brand new students to English who still need instruction in Arabic; you will most likely have students in Level 2 and above. Yemeni students are a pleasure to teach since they are easy-going and eager to learn, and we keep class sizes below 15 where we can (but not more than 20 where we can't).

If seriously interested send

1) a copy of your CV/resume;
2) a copy of your passport?s photo page;
3) a copy of all relevant academic certificates.

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.

 

I have learnt a lot about the various techniques and methods that I can use to teach my students in the future.I have learnt that the most important thing is to try and make teaching learner centred as much as possible. The idea is to engage students as much as possible. Finally I have also found out better ways of giving feedback to my students without necessarily affecting their confidence or willingness to talk.This unit helped solidify my understanding of the different kinds of past tenses. In particular, the differences between the past perfect, and past perfect continuous was very helpful. These are concepts that I have an easy time understanding, but very difficult to explain to others in my own words. I feel after studying this unit I'll be more able to make these distinctions when explaining concepts to my students.
