Our students are aged 13 to adult and are either sponsored by various organisations or are private students. With native English speakers from Australia, Canada, the United Kingdom, the USA and local Yemeni teachers, ALC is becoming the most popular and successful English language school in the port city of Aden. We?re expanding rapidly and are looking to add another native English-speaking teachers to our staff.

Here's a basic contract:

We have local teachers to handle brand new students to English who still need instruction in Arabic ? you?ll most likely have students in Level 2 and above. Yemeni students are a pleasure to teach since they are easy-going and eager to learn, and we keep class sizes below 15 where we can (but not more than 20 where we can?t).

Below you can read feedback from an ITTT graduate regarding one section of their online TEFL certification course. Each of our online courses is broken down into concise units that focus on specific areas of English language teaching.

 

The past tenses seemed much easier for me to understand compared to the present tenses. I think this unit is once again helpful for me to completely understand so when I am in front of a class room I can explain myself better. Although I do feel more comfortable with knowing the difference between past simple, past perfect, past perfect continuous, and past continuous, I plan on studying them longer to further my comfort.Unit 13 covers the subject of pronunciation and attempts to establish general guidelines for teaching it. The topics of intonation, stress, and the Phonemic Alphabet are included in the material. I have become more familiar with the International Phonetic Alphabet through the study of this unit. I also learned to distinguish between intonation, which involves whole sentences, and stress, which focuses on individual words.
