Summer Teacher Job Description

Interactive English Summer Programme

This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to a new concept in summer courses - an English-language programme in China for Chinese students, supported by native speakers of English.

The syllabus itself focuses on a different topic each day with the aim of encouraging optimal English language development.

It consists of a lead seminar, followed by language activities, visits to places of interest in the area, and workshops from outside speakers.

The role of the teacher is to work with a class of up to 20 teenagers to help them prepare for and respond to the challenges of the 'topic of the day'.

This involves teaching in the mornings; overseeing events, visits and workshops in the afternoons; and working together with local (Chinese) teachers to create an interactive learning environment both inside and outside the classroom.

Topics of the day:
British culture & Etiquette

Silk Roads - East meets West

Oxbridge - aiming for excellence

Medicine and Health

Kings, Queens & Emperors

Early Civilisations

Science & technology

Art, poetry and music

Climate change and eco-systems

World Book Choices
