(I don't usually advertise ELT jobs, but today I'm going to make an exception. There are vacancies for teachers in Astana, the capital of Kazakhstan, with the New Generation group of schools. I was lucky enough to give a talk to NG teachers in April another Kazakh city, Pavlodar, and I was really impressed by the teachers, the owners and the support staff. Anyway, here are the details:

From a recent update on another groups' wall:
Comment by Amanda J Folcarelli:
Hi, y'all! Hope everything is wonderful!
I'm still in Hong Kong, and was recently put in contact with HKEDU (http://www.hkedu.com.hk/index2.html), which is currently taking applicants for full-time work in primary schools. They offer a one-year contract and decent benefits, including housing and paid holiday time.
Matt, feel free to tell your other trainee groups about this.

Hello CELTA grads,
If you're NOT coming to the mini-conference at Teaching House Boston this Saturday (why in the world not?!?! ;) there IS still a nice ELT-event you could 'attend' online at 3pm on Saturday. Just FYI, see details below:
Jamie Keddie - 'Storytelling in the classroom'
It is often teachers of young learners who are the quickest to embrace teacher-led storytelling as a way of engaging students and structuring sessions. But we are considering a classroom art which is far too valuable and versatile to be associated exclusively with one group alone. In this practical webinar, we will look at ways in which a short narrative can be used to generate a whole-class dialogue with language learning opportunities along the way.
Jamie Keddie is a teacher, trainer, writer and storyteller. He is the founder of Lessonstream.org and the winner of a British Council ELTons award. His publications include 'Images' (OUP, 2009) and 'Bringing Online Video into the Classroom' (OUP, 2014). He is also the author of Videotelling, a self-published ebookYou can enter the webinar at this link: http://www.iatefl.org/web-events/webinars (find 'Join this webinar here')
Jamie Keddie is awesome, so don't miss it! ;)
