El Centro de Inglés
Bailen (Jaen)
El Centro de Inglés Idiomas Bailen is a professional language school dedicated to quality teaching and teacher development, located in Bailen, in the province of Jaen, south-eastern Spain.
THE SCHOOL
The school opened in September 2007. We are gradually building up our student numbers and will be needing a part time to share with El Centro de Inglés, Andujar in September 2009. We teach English to children (from 5 years), teenagers and adults from total beginners to advanced level. We also have business English classes and a large demand for French. A large percentage of our students are young learners. We prepare students for all the Cambridge University EFL and Trinity College oral exams. We are an official Trinity centre.
THE STAFF
At present there are two teachers who are the directors/owners of the school, and a secretary. We run in-service training and have an on-going teacher support and observation programme which is run from the El Centro de Inglés Andujar in conjunction with our school. You will be working with two highly experienced teachers who will provide support and guidance as well as having access to all the wealth of resources in our Andujar school. External teacher training will be funded by the school.
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 34 since the remaining hours are put in preparing classes, attending teacher's meetings and carrying out administrative duties. More hours will be offered if available.
