ESL teacher

Because our program is focused on a “vocabulary rich, oral language acquisition” versus a content based mode, our foreign teachers need to be flexible in the subjects they may teach. Our program can be defined as “English through subject matter”.
Team members will teach all subjects in English except for the other five foreign languages which are to be taught in their target language. The focus of our program is immersion in ORAL LANGUAGE ACQUISITION. Although there is a limited amount of writing necessary in the classes, the expectation of every class meeting is a minimum of 80% student speaking of English, no Chinese. Our teachers are expected to promote oral acuity, critical thinking skills and relevant, life-situation conversational ability. We teach multiple courses but the content is not the focus, conversational ability in the subject matter is the goal. Teachers are expected to use TPR, visuals, music, and highly interactive activities to engage and encourage student participation and learning.
