Taunton School Hiring for Teacher of EAL (English as an Additional Language) Job at Taunton, England Full Time

We are looking to looking to appoint an inspiring teacher of EAL to start in September 2022, to work in this successful and popular department. In general terms the department teaches students aged 13-18 and provides instruction in B2 First for Schools / FCE, IGCSE ESL, IELTS, and IB English B. One member of the department is responsible for CAS within the IB DP and also teaches TOK. For the academic year 2022-23, the successful applicant for this part time (0.5) role will teach in the 16-18 years age range with a focus on IELTS and IB English B. Therefore experience of those two courses is advantageous.

The main role of the EAL Department is helping to ensure a significant, noticeable and measurable increase in the English language proficiency of students for whom English is not a first language. The aim is for all students to achieve excellence in English and be able to transition well into their chosen field of work or study. Equipping students with the linguistic skills they require is a fundamental role, as a large number of students in the school use English as a second- or additional language. In order to achieve this, various modes of support are offered in conjunction with curriculum instruction.

To be considered, you will be an ambitious, talented and inspiring teacher, passionate about EAL. You will have excellent subject knowledge and the ability to inspire and motivate our ambitious and hardworking students.

This is a part-time, permanent post, available from September 2022, suitable for an experienced teacher or a highly motivated newly qualified teacher wishing to join a team of specialists who ensure a high standard of teaching, learning and achievement.
