English Teaching in Taiwan
Date: 2010-06-25 02:06:07, Location: Taiwan, Asia
The Modern Language School is looking for mature, good-humored, creative and motivated teachers to fill a position starting September 1. Our students range from elementary school age to high school, with class sizes as small as individual, one-on-one arrangements to groups of 16 students. Our curriculum encourages teachers to use their individuality and creativity by providing an extensive supply of teaching materials, including games, handouts, reference books and other activities. Our staff has over 20 years of teaching experience, and a teacher trainer is on duty everyday to share ideas. Monthly workshops provide the teachers with the opportunity to develop professionally by exchanging views on teaching methods and techniques. Teachers will also be expected to participate in curriculum development, such as creating and editing homework assignments and tests.
Being an American-managed language center, we feel we better understand the challenges foreign teachers face in Taiwan. We offer a competitive salary with a pay raise at the end of six months. We will pick you up at the airport, provide assistance in locating housing and purchasing a scooter (translating, loans, driver’s test prep). Our benefit package includes health insurance, sponsorship for a resident visa and work permit, NT$20,000 end-of-contract bonus, two weeks vacation and also paid holidays.
The Modern Language School has been operating in Chiayi for over twelve years. Many of our students have found success outside the classroom. Every year, we have students who excel in various speech contests, ranging from school-wide to nationwide competitions. Many have passed the beginner and intermediate levels of the GEPT, the government-administered English test designed for junior and senior high graduates. Other students have tested into special English-language programs offered by various local junior and senior high schools. Previous students now study in high schools in England and America, while others major in language studies at Taiwan universities or attend institutions overseas.
During vacation and holiday periods, teachers have traveled throughout Taiwan, from its sandy beaches in the south to its rugged central mountains to rock concerts up in the capital, Taipei. Most have taken trips all across Asia, from Korea to Bali, the Philippines to Thailand. Many have gone onto education careers, as well as employment within the public and private sectors. They have often pointed out how their experiences in Taiwan have been important factors in gaining the positions they have applied for.
If you are a native English speaker, have a bachelor’s degree or a college diploma with a TESOL/TESL certificate and can give at least a twelve-month’s commitment, we would be very interested to hear from you. Please send a resume, a recent photo, your phone number and/or e-mail address and any questions you may have to Hugo McGlinchey, managing director of Modern Language School, to any of the contacts below:
