El Centro de Inglés
Andujar
El Centro de Inglés is a serious, professional language school dedicated to quality language teaching and teacher development situated in Andujar, in the province of Jaen, south-eastern Spain.
The School
The school opened in 1988. At present there are over 500 students. We teach English to children (from 5 years), teenagers and adults from total beginners to advanced level. A large percentage of our students are young learners. We prepare students for all the Cambridge University EFL and the Trinity College oral exams. We are an official Trinity centre.
The Staff
At present there are eight teachers, a Director of Studies, a secretary and a Director. Both the DOS and Director teach in the school. We run in-service training and have an on-going teacher support and observation programme as well as local education courses for non-native teachers of English and business classes. External teacher training is funded by the school. In the past we have acted as local supervisor for the distance training Diploma with both International House and the British Council.
The Timetable
Most timetables begin at 4.00/4.30pm and finish at 9.30pm. On an average day you will be teaching four and a half hours. There are normally no morning classes and no Saturday classes. We finish at 7.30pm on a Friday afternoon. An average timetable would be 21 teaching hours although you are paid for 34 since the remaining hours are put in preparing classes, attending teachers' meetings and carrying out administrative duties. More hours will be offered if available.
