The Job

Our school is now recruiting qualified English teachers with playful and adventurous spirit to teach in Fuzhou, the capital city of Fujian province. Our school has built first class facilities with excellent teaching and learning environment. We currently have positions for Early Childhood Education teachers (3 to 6 year olds), Primary Homeroom Teachers (6 to 12 year olds), High School PE Teachers and High School English Language Arts Teachers.

Our international school has adopted an American curriculum with textbooks from the United States. The role of the foreign teacher is to encourage English communication in a fun and natural way. They are to communicate with learners in an engaging, age-appropriate manner. Teachers may deliver the curriculum using immersive learning techniques such as singing, dialogue and role playing combined with formal exercises.

One of the methods we use to engage in their learning process is story-telling which is designed specifically for ESL learners. The dialogues in the story can be studied and applied to the daily lives of the students. Role plays and drama are also effective ways of allowing students to express themselves using the English language. This can help stimulate real life scenarios and build up their confidence in using the language.
