ELT employs qualified Native English Speakers with TEFL,
TESOL, RSA, CELTA, or equivalent teaching diploma or
Bachelor Degree, and/or post graduate qualifications.
We provide English language teachers and academic
development support to various prestigiousschools and
corporate organizations in Thailand .
|
Teachers will also have the opportunity to work in the EnglishPlus centres in Bangkok and
up-country. The centres cater for school and university students, and also office and business
personnel in order to develop high levels of English language proficiency. |

At ELT we make an active effort to help our teachers become the best that they can be. Teaching is a dynamic profession that is best suited to those who constantly seek out ways in which to improve their teaching practice. We employ three methods to assist our teachers in this regard;
Education & Orientation, Learning & Professional Development and
Training & Team Oriented Approach.
|
|
E |
Education &
Orientation |
|
When you first start at ELT you will be given
an orientation and training session to help you
get used to the approach we take to English
Language Training. During your probationary
period we will work closely with you in any
aspect of your work that you require help with.
|
|
|
|
L |
Learning &
Professional
Development |
|
From time to time we ask that our teachers participate in professional improvement sessions. This may be to learn about new teaching resources
or techniques or simply to become familiar with
new or ongoing policies at ELT. Whenever possible we will offer training sessions on a variety of topics. These sessions will help us all remain current and professional in the continuous pursuit of excellence
in teaching. |
|
T |
Training &
Team Oriented
Approach |
|
On a regular basis we ask our teachers to work together to share ideas, develop materials and
teach together. This is a way to make your life
easier in the classroom. We can all learn from
each other through our ideas and teaching
practices.
Classroom observation and collaboration are
part of our approach to helping our teachers on
an ongoing basis. These observations which
lead to assessment are not a threat to our teachers but rather an opportunity for collaboration. We do not dismiss teachers when they have areas in which they can improve, we help them. It is a two way process;
we do not dictate, we discuss. Dedicated, professional teachers are always interested in discovering ways to improve. We take that notion
to heart and work together with our teachers as colleagues. |
|
| |
|
|
|
|
| We give our teachers the opportunity to work with ELT at our EnglishPlus language centres and also our clients in both prestigious schools and businesses. This gives ELT teachers
a broad exposure to Thai students and culture.
We genuinely try to find positions for teachers where they will be happy. We do not expect our teachers to take on assignments
that they are uncomfortable doing. We ask you “up front” where
and how you are willing to work.
There are also special events that our teachers can take part in
such as English Camps which can be a lot of fun.
|
| |
|
|
|
|
ELT has the best resources available and at your disposal.
From world class textbooks to a broad range of excellent supplementary material, we provide our teachers with
everything they need to do their job effectively.
We do ask that while utilizing these materials that you respect and look after them, and also return them in a timely manner. Classrooms in our EnglishPlus centres are furnished with
modern facilities and materials.
|
|
| |
|
|
|
|
We all agree that learning the English language is critical to surviving in the global community
of today and tomorrow. Thai students expect to learn English in a manner that will enable them
to effectively use the language in their lives, be it in academic, professional or practical everyday
situations.
|
|
Therefore, in terms of high expectations from ELT, well
would you expect anything short of high-quality education
for your own personal development? As in any service organisation, we expect our teachers to give their best performance, demonstrating ability as well as creativity in
the classroom. Do not forget that the ELT staff will support
you along the way, so, in effect, we will help you to meet our expectation.
Besides good performance, ELT expects its teachers to demonstrate a commitment to their students. By providing
quality English language tuition to Thai students, we are
doing them a great service for their future. An optimal
learning environment consists of a high-quality teacher,
a facility conducive to learning and last, but not least,
stability in this environment. Too often, Thai students
have to bear the brunt of teachers coming and going,
which breaks the stability of the learning environment
and has a negative effect on their education.
|
The least ELT asks of its teachers is to make a one year commitment to working with us.
Consider that in the duration of a year, you will have made many friends, among your colleagues
as well as students, and will have gained valuable personal and professional experience.
What's more, ELT recognizes and values outstanding performance and commitment,
and will compensate you for these attributes accordingly. |
| |
|
|
|
|
We all make mistakes in our personal and professional lives. That is why at ELT we take
a positive and helping approach to professional improvement. We believe in helping each other
through constructive and positive discussion.
|
If there is an area where a teacher particularly needs to
improve we will help that teacher create a professional improvement plan. This plan identifies the area that
needs improvement and clearly states the steps that can
be taken, by when, in order to achieve this improvement.
By this, we mean that we are happy and willing to work
with our teachers to everyone's benefit. Rather than being authoritarian and draconian, ELT prefers to assist teachers
in any way that we can.
That being said, and considering the fact that teachers themselves help to create their professional improvement
plan, a consistent failure to meet the terms of the plan can
only be seen as a lack of willingness on the part of the
teacher to resolve the necessary issues. At that point further steps may be required.
It needs to be said that this kind of progressive approach to management is not the norm in the Kingdom of Thailand .
ELT prides itself on being a forward thinking and leading
edge institution. With this in mind, we invite and welcome
any feedback from all ELT staff and teachers with regards
to these policies.
|
|
In conclusion, we do not expect perfection from our teachers,
just a positive attitude and professionalism.
Attitude is a little thing
|
| |
that makes a Big difference.
|
|
