Liverpool - Summer 2013 teaching young learners

Young Learner Residential Summer School Vacancies

Now recruiting EFL Teachers

The Liverpool School of English is seeking to recruit enthusiastic and reliable EFL teachers for their Young Learner Summer Schools to be held this summer at various venues across the UK.

The General English classes will have a maximum of 15 students and students will be placed in groups on arrival according to their level of English. The lessons will be communicative and designed to develop all four skills, with a focus on speaking and listening.

The classes will be both task-based and content-based, allowing the students to personalise the topic and themes of the day and to prepare for the afternoon and weekend excursions.

All classrooms are well-equipped and teachers will use videos, webquests and power point to ensure lessons are creative and dynamic.

Teachers will also be expected to participate in the afternoon and evening activities on a rota basis.

With many years’ experience, The Liverpool School of English knows what makes the perfect summer school programme – academic excellence, an exciting cultural, social and sports programme and exceptional pastoral care. Our Young Learner Residential Summer Schools are tailored to suit overseas students who are aged 13-17 and run between June and August.

We run these courses in Liverpool, Chester, Salford and the South-East. Each venue provides both staff and students with excellent premises and facilities where we offer accommodation, meals and sports activities.
