The school provides full training to all newly arriving teachers so teaching experience is not a huge requirement. Class sizes are small - no more than 15 students and teachers teach 50 minute classes. Students range from grade 1 to junior high school, however most classes are younger students. The school provides all necessary teaching resources as well as a low stress curriculum. Yilan is coastal city perfect for surfing plus other beach activities. The cost of living is very low in this area allowing teachers to have a great time yet save money; as opposed to living in a big city like Taipei.

All teachers receive about 1 week of training (kindergarten teachers receive 2 weeks of training) in Taipei prior to teaching their first class (in some cases this may be shorter). This training is mainly aimed at the teaching of young learners and involves workshops on different areas such as the teaching of reading and writing, classroom control, setting up of activities and lesson planning etc. Teachers also observe existing teachers teach all levels and ages of students. In some cases the teacher may start teaching before the completion of the training. In such cases the training will be completed at a later date. The training week is hard work but very rewarding.

The population of the city is increasing rapidly.The population is 209,736 people (as of the end of July 2007), and the city now has the highest population and population density in Tainan county.which make Yongkang the biggest city of Tainan County. It is the most populated district in Tainan County as a result of prosperous industrial and commercial developments. The main reason behind this population growth is that the booming industrial and traffic developments attracted a large number of people from neighboring towns or villages and outer cities to work and live in Yong Kang. The beaches are near-by, on which people can enjoy and sun-bath, swimming and amazing sunset, and make a good day trip destination.

The school will use standard ESL textbooks for language practices. The teacher would likely follow a syllabus which the school provides. This kindergarten is quite well organized regarding curriculum. They have 'foreign teacher leaders' for each department, so teachers can avoid communication and cultural differences, by answering directly to these 'foreign teacher leaders'. If you're looking to get into a well run school with lots of other English teachers this is a perfect opportunity. - Teaching Jobs in Taiwan Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.footprintsrecruiting.com/job-board/teaching-jobs-in-taiwan/182/teach-junior-high-and-high-school-in-kee Location: Keelung - By car, the commute is aprox. 1 hour from a residence in downtown Taipei to school. This can fluctuate somewhat due to traffic. Although the location is not 'near' Taipei, with the car service, travel and location makes getting to and from the school a 'no brainer' for the teacher. This school doesn't require the teacher to remain on-site whenever not teaching. The teacher can expect a maximum of 25 contact hours (in the classroom) per week. I project the hours to be 21 contact next year. This school has daytime and evening hours, so this will vary the working time. In the past, the school has arranged the schedule to accommodate a 4 day work week. The earliest class is likely 09:00, but last year was 10:00. The latest class is 20:50. There are typically evening classes (18:50-20:50) only twice per week. The downside of this job is that the hours can be long, due to the wait between classes, particularly on days when teachers have evening classes. Also, the commute is difficult for some, but can provide an excellent opportunity to sleep, or prep lessons in an air conditioned car. The upside is that the students at this school are very well-behaved and the level tends to be higher than other schools. This job is perfect for someone who is independent. It offers an opportunity for someone who is interested in studying Chinese independently (review Chinese textbook), due to the down time between classes. It also is only a 4 day work week, which is a big plus! - Teaching Jobs in Taiwan Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.footprintsrecruiting.com/job-board/teaching-jobs-in-taiwan/181/teach-at-a-girl-s-high-school-in-bali-t Looking for a Girl's high school teacher. Note: Female candidates only. Must have teaching license to be considered. It's a great opportunity for an independent minded teacher. Teachers will receive continual assistance from the school, so the prep times are quite minimal. Students range in age from 13 (junior high school) to 17 (senior high school). The biggest class size would be 25 students. There are several classes where student numbers may drop to as few as 10. Grade 8 - Advanced English class for grade 8 girls (8-14 students per class) This class uses an ESL textbook and teacher prepares the lessons themselves. These girls are advanced, extremely intelligent and enthusiastic about learning English and an absolute pleasure to teach. Class size is small and it is usually easy getting students to speak. Teacher spends about two hours a week preparing for this class (meet twice a week). Grade 8 - Lessons provided by the school. Teacher usually tries to encourage as much conversation as possible on the part of the students as their speaking ability and enthusiasm to learn English tends to be high. Grade 9 - Class is also advanced like grade 8. This class uses a textbook and the teacher spends about an hour a week preparing for this class. Grade 10 - The lesson is provided by the school. Teacher does very little preparation and teaches the same lesson throughout the week. Again, the ability level of each class varies slightly but you can more or less teach plan to all classes. Grade 11 - Lessons are provided to by the school, so there is very little preparation for teacher. Level of students varies somewhat but can more or less duplicate the lesson throughout the week, with some slight adjustments based on the different class levels. The dormitory room includes a bed, desk and closet. There is a common area for cooking. It is very basic. The bathroom is shared with one other person (usually the other foreign teacher). There is internet access at the school, within the teacher's classroom, but not in the dormitory. The accommodation is not the Ritz, but it is extremely convenient, clean, and quiet. The teacher is able to come and go as they please. Their is no restriction for curfew, etc. There is a small fee for utilities + food (breakfast and dinner - lunch is free).

All teachers must first observe classes, and take training workshops, before they start teaching. Our teachers all go through training before they ever meet with students. Experienced teachers observe other teachers' classes so that they learn new ideas and share ideas. The school also gives workshops on a regular basis for our teachers to improve teaching skills. Before every class, there are always teacher trainers on duty to assist in class preparation. The Finest English Teaching Library in Taiwan The school's teachers have created over 10,000 handouts and activities. They are categorized by both level and topic for easy access. All of these materials were created for students in Taiwan. Where other schools use canned materials that may have been created in America or other countries (with little application to the real-life needs of students in Taiwan), our materials are created with a sensitive focus on the needs of the Taiwanese student. Our library of materials is expanding daily because our teachers are always creating new materials that are classroom tested and then added to our files. - Teaching Jobs in Taiwan Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:00:00 +0100 http://www.footprintsrecruiting.com/job-board/teaching-jobs-in-taiwan/101/teaching-position-in-taipei-taiwan-oc Looking to embark on a new journey?
