| Induction
The first week of a teacher's employment in Taiwan
usually consists of an induction period and training.
As many teachers do not have any training or experience
in teaching English to children, there is a focus
on teaching younger learners in this time (methodology,
use or resources, observing more experienced teachers),
but teachers are also introduced to SEST’s
other courses and its administration systems.
Teaching English Younger Learners
(TEYL) Course
The Saxoncourt Teaching English to Younger Learners
(TEYL) course covers all aspects of teaching Younger
Learners from 2 years old to High School, and
includes:
- methodology
- drilling
- classroom games
- classroom management
- how to effectively use textbooks and classroom
resources
- lesson planning
- teaching phonics, reading and writing
- observing more experienced teachers
- written and practical assignments
This training week takes place in Taipei prior
to teaching your first class. New Teachers are
awarded a Saxoncourt Certificate in TEYL.
Workshops
- Regular workshops are held throughout the
year for special courses or classes and any
other areas that teachers request help with.
Academic support
- Regular individual and group meetings, appraisals
and observation feedback sessions will continue
to be held between the teacher and their Director
Line Manager throughout the teacher's time with
the school.
- These occasions are an integral part of the
support structure offered by Shane English Schools
to its teachers, being a forum for a beneficial
exchange of ideas as well as an opportunity
for the teacher to discuss any problems they
may be having in their classes.
