1. Children's EFL Teachers (for ILA Jumpstart/ Juniors/ Seniors/ Elite Programmes)
The ILA JSE programme is the premier English foreign language children's programme in Ho Chi Minh City with over 4000 children and teenagers currently studying on it and forecasted to grow considerably over the next few years. The summer months in Vietnam - from June through to the end of August - are a particularly busy time at ILA as there is an increase in the number of students signing up for English classes. During these months the school runs an intensive summer programme for its Juniors, Seniors and Elite English courses (JSE) for children in addition to the normally scheduled classes.

The students are divided into four separate programmes dependant upon their age.

English for 4 and 5 year olds (ILA Jumpstart) is a three level programme designed for children between the ages of four and-a-half and six and-a-half. The course is designed to give students a solid foundation in listening and speaking English. As well students are introduced to Ï£omputing in EnglishÓ through interactive CD programmes and a creative ρrts in EnglishÓ programme. Each programme consists of 148 hours of English instruction in two parts, each 74 hours in duration.

ILA Juniors is a 12 level programme for children between the ages of 6 to 11 and a half, taking them from absolute beginner level to pre-intermediate level. In the first two courses the children primarily focus on developing their listening and speaking skills. As they progress through the levels they are introduced to the reading and writing skills more.

ILA Seniors and Elite are programmes for 12-16 and 16 and a half to 18 year olds respectively. Seniors consists of 6 levels from Beginner to Upper Intermediate. Elite consists of 9 levels from Beginner to Advanced.
