Full-Time Teaching Position in Seville 2024/25 for February and Future

 

Details of Position

Founded in 2006, TAKE ENGLISH is a registered Trinity College examination centre and authorised University of Cambridge preparation centre located in the east of the city of Seville, in a lively neighbourhood 15 minutes walk from the metro line which will connect you with the city centre in 5-6 minutes (alternatively there are options to travel easily by bus or bike, with the city’s public bike network or your own bike, which can be kept inside the academy).

In 2 centres, we have a fantastic team of 14 teachers and administrative staff, and we pride ourselves on our great working atmosphere and our many students whom all our teachers say are so much fun to teach!

We are delighted to be able to offer an opportunity to join the current course on a full-time basis, from 10^th February on, where you will teach English to children, teenagers and adults using a practical approach focused on developing our students’ skills and helping them gain confidence in listening and speaking English through the use of games, music and creative activities.

 

Take English belongs to the following professional organisations:

– ACEIA (Asociacin de centros de enseanza de idiomas de Andaluca)
– FECEI (Federacin espaola de centros de enseanza de idiomas)
– Trinity College Registered Examination Centre
– Cambridge English Collaborating Centre

Our senior teachers and administrative staff are on-hand to provide continued support throughout the course and, as members of ACEIA (Andalusian Association of Foreign Language Centres) and FECEI (Spanish Federation of Foreign Language Centres), we are constantly kept up to date with the latest trends in education and the English-teaching industry!

 

The job consists of giving classes to students in a group, with a maximum of 10 students. The classes should always be dynamic and fun, where there are always games or activities that are fun and attractive for the students. All our classrooms have a whiteboard but with a projector and laptop, and all students have a textbook and activity book. All the teachers have all the teacher’s material which greatly facilitates the preparation of the classes.

 

The teacher, alone in the classroom, will have a great deal of autonomy in their classes, although they will work under the guidance of the coordinating teacher, helping in the development of the contents established in the centre.

The teacher will be guided by didactic guidelines, such as: the selection of specific content or methodological indications, for example: on the use of English/Spanish in class, guidelines for correcting homework, approach to work with games, work with songs, indications on pronunciation, etc.

 

There will be no exam preparation or tutorials throughout the course, but will only have 2 tutorials with parents during the year, which will take place on assessment days.

 

teachers can prepare the lessons at home and are not obliged to come to the school in the morning for that. In addition, they have a good number of non-teaching hours in their contract, depending on each case. The academy normally holds a control meeting once every 5 weeks, which takes place from Monday to Thursday in a flexible timetable agreed with the teacher, always trying to respect our 3-day weekends.

 

The most important principle of Take English is our concern for the quality of our teaching. To this end, we consider training and observation practices to be fundamental: we hold several training sessions throughout the course (always in working days), as well as peer observation + feedback sessions, which help us a great deal to learn and progress from our mistakes and virtues.
