ESL Teacher

Teach English to adults at an established English center in a capital city of North Africa. There are also evening conversation clubs which help strengthen students’ abilities to speak and understand English. Through teaching and conversation groups, relationships are built for sharing with students the Hope that is within us.

REQUIREMENTS:
Previous experience teaching English &/or an ESL degree or CELTA certificate is helpful, but not required. Minimal knowledge of French or Arabic is also helpful, but not required. Candidate should, however, enjoy teaching, enjoy being with people, be flexible and ready to learn from others, and be willing to live in a 3rd world environment where the “comforts of home” are not always available.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
Teach 1-2 classes per session (a session lasting 10 weeks), with the possibility of leading 1-2 conversation groups per week.
LIVING ENVIRONMENT:
This country is an Islamic Republic and is considered 3rd-world, with frequent challenges to life and work, such as occasional water and electric cuts and off-and-on internet, a desert climate (heat & dust), and widespread poverty. Open witnessing on the streets is not possible, but through relationship-building people are able to observe your faith intersecting with everyday life, and opportunities often arise to share about this faith.
WORKING ENVIRONMENT:
The candidate will be working at an English center located very close to the center of town. This center was established in 2003 as a book store and library. In 2005 the center began teaching English to adults. This center is well-known in the city, and has a good reputation.
