Date posted:2005-04-06 | Writer: EF/Language Travel | Email: [email protected]

Groups of students begin arriving on campus the middle of June and courses run through the middle of August. ALs are assigned specific groups that they will work with from arrival through departure. The courses for these

students can be from 3 to 6 weeks in duration. Some ALs will, if successful, be offered two groups running back to back for approximately 6 to 8 weeks of work. All ALs must be available to spend approximately 4 days on campus prior to the arrival of the first group, training, designing the itinerary and preparing the site.

These students attend English language classes in the morning and then they spend the afternoons, evenings and weekends participating in activities that are full of great fun and adventure. Trips include most of the amusement parks in the LA area as well as visits to San Francisco, San Diego, etc. ALs are chaperones, guides, friends and diplomats for these afternoons, evenings and weekends. Successful candidates will find they are in for a whirlwind experience.

Interviews will be held in Long Beach in early May. A driver's licence and a familiarity with Los Angeles is appreciated. All applicants must be legal residents of the US and able to be on campus by mid-June.

Compensation includes salary of $325 a week plus room and board, transportation, all expenses involved with the programs as well as additional compensation to be determined by duties.

Please send a resume and cover letter to [email protected].

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.

 

This unit presented very clear information on the 7 different types of grammatical structures for the future tense. The games and other lesson ideas mentioned were very interesting including “predicting the future,” and “palm reading.” I look forward to trying these out in my classroom. The most confusing part of this lesson was the difference between present continuous tense and the going to future tense.The part of this unit that I enjoyed the most, is the break down of how to teach each lesson. Giving the step my step instruction on how to break down the lesson you're trying to teach, helps me understand the process better and will give me more confidence while I'm creating my own lesson plans. I also enjoyed how the unit reflected on the Straight Arrow ESA Lesson. The information given in the units are starting to sink in.
