With a change in directorship and direction, LIOJ is seeking creative
and dedicated teachers who enjoy working with a variety of students in
an array of programs, are highly organized with short/long-term time
management skills, like being part of a team, are keen to be active in
professional development, and are flexible.

Write curriculum, develop materials for, and teach EFL to community
course students of all levels from young children to adults. Possibly
teach business English. Also teach concurrent residential immersion
programs for high school students (large groups); prepare and conduct
classes during workshops for teachers of English; and plan and
participate in extracurricular activities.

University degree (MA in a relevant field preferred) and at least two
years teaching both adults and children required. Demonstrated
interest in teaching children is important because half of the regular
teaching hours are dedicated to children's classes. Excellent writing
skills are also necessary.

Sponsorship is available. Paid orientation (at half salary). Renewable
contract. Starting date: March 2004.
