Terrific Opportunity in Jeju

[Admin-06]

We are looking for an enthusiastic and qualified English language instructor to work with us at Samyang's English Classrooms (SEC) on Jeju Island, South Korea. We are looking for a teacher to start at the beginning of September and/or October. We are especially interested in teachers with a CELTA or equivalent language teaching qualification and/or experience teaching in Korea.

ABOUT OUR SCHOOL
We teach students ages 7 - middle school. We have an excellent program with a lot of support behind it. Binders with materials including related reading, listening, vocabulary, grammar, communication and assessment activities have been developed (and are always being improved upon) to supplement the core texts and readers. Teachers also have access to many of the best ESL resource books on the market to help create fun and useful lessons. We work on all skills, reading, writing, listening, speaking, vocabulary and pronunciation. We teach 5 X 60 minute classes a day. A teacher teaches the same students Mon. Wed. and Fri. and a different group of students Tues. and Thurs.. Almost all of our classes are five times a week--so if a foreign teacher has the class on Mon/Wed/Fri, then a Korean teacher has the class on Tues/Thurs.

Our teacher will work Monday to Friday. Classes run at our school from 1:40 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., but these are not each teacher¡¯s individual teaching hours. We schedule classes back to back, and we have a school wide break time for 25 minutes at 5:55. (i.e. if your first class starts at 1:40, your last class would finish at 7:20 or if your first class starts at 3:50, your last class would finish at 9:30.) We expect our teachers to be well prepared for classes and to do their best to contribute to the cumulative experience, wisdom, and resources of a team dedicated to developing, implementing and evaluating a comprehensive program for teaching English to Koreans.

ABOUT OUR LOCATION
Samyang's English Classrooms (SEC) is located in a small ocean-side community about 10-15 minutes by bus outside of Ku Jeju City. We are near a swimming beach with a windsurfing club, as well as trails to explore etc. Ask me more about our location.

In the summer, Jeju is perfect. Some think it is a little humid but we have air conditioners in the classrooms and accommodations. (not to worry) I personally don't love winter. It's windy, but spring, summer and fall make up for it. About Jeju, you have heard. It's a really beautiful place. There is a lot to see and do here.

ABOUT US
Well, I am Canadian (from British Columbia) and my husband is Korean. We opened Samyang's English Classrooms (SEC) 5 years ago because we love the area where we are living, we love teaching and working with kids and we felt like we had something to offer this community. We currently have 5 foreign teachers and 4 Korean teachers at SEC.

We do our best for the students who attend our school and the teachers who work with us.

ABOUT THE SALARY AND BENEFITS
***Pay depends on experience and references. Our starting salary is 2.0 million won per month. Of course, we offer more to teachers with English language teaching experience and training. We are really looking for a teacher with experience, training and a passion for language teaching. We offer a clean and comfortable furnished studio apartment near the beach. We offer airfare (return), 50% medical, 10 days vacation in addition to National holidays and a one month salary bonus upon completion of contract.
