Just spreading the word about an upcoming webinar series for teachers I'm involved in (my session is on 8/8). Gonna be great! Easy sign up, easy to participate, and easy access to all recordings later if you can't make sessions.

Below was posted on FB by Ken Wilson (https://kenwilsonelt.wordpress.com/) today:

-----------

(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:

EFL Teacher
Astana, Kazakhstan
Start date: September 1st 2015

New Generation International Educational Center is looking for EFL professionals to work in Astana, the amazing capital city of Kazakhstan. An excellent local remuneration package is offered to the right candidate, who must have CELTA or equivalent and be committed to delivering high quality lessons and focused on self-development.

School Description:
New Generation International Educational Center has been providing first-class language tuition in Kazakhstan since 2000. The company has three main divisions: language schools, bookselling and the Studies Abroad department. There are three schools, two in Pavlodar and one in Astana.

Location:
Astana became the capital of Kazakhstan in 1997. Its modern architecture is striking in its scale and futuristic design, especially in contrast to the vast steppes that surround it.

Qualifications:
Our ideal candidate for an EFL teacher position
• has a recognized EFL qualification (TEFL/TESOL/ CELTA/DELTA)
• has a university degree
• is outgoing, enthusiastic, positive, sociable, hard-working and looking for a challenge.

Moreover, experience in teaching YL and Exam Preparation (IELTS and TOEFL) is highly preferable. A Business English qualification will be an advantage, along with an IELTS Examiner qualification.

Applications from people who do not meet all of the above criteria will be considered, although only successful applicants will be contacted. We welcome applications from native and non-native speaker teachers of English.

Salary and benefits:
- Monthly salary: from KZT 220,000 (net) depending on qualifications and experience. About USD1,200 per month.

In addition, we offer the following remuneration package:
- Visa support: the school will help with and cover the cost of a multiple one-year visa;
- Economy return air fare to Astana
- Airport transfer on arrival and departure
- Free accommodation
- Free access to email and internet facilities
- 24-hour hotline emergency assistance.

Support:
Teachers will always have a senior member of staff with whom they can discuss any aspects of their work. Also, our school will help teachers settle smoothly into living in Kazakhstan and provide ongoing assistance on all matters that may otherwise prove difficult with the language barrier.

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.

Hey all, sorry for the delay. Still traveling.

Missed you the second half Matthew. Hope Detroit went well. The upper intermediate guys were great. I had a blast teaching them.

Currently in Cedar City, UT after spending a couple weeks in Vegas. Heading to CA and Wyoming next week. This has been a fantastic trip so far. Lots of beautiful things to see.

Professionally, we are getting ready for a busy semester. So far I will be teaching 2 per-intermediate classes and one upper intermediate as well as tutoring to make some extra money.

Hope everyone is having a great summer. Good luck .

Heh...DELTA sink jokes. You'll get me every time with those! Boom!

Yeah, email is good: matthew@teachinghouse.com

That goes for anyone, don't be a stranger. Beware though, I'm pretty busy but WILL get back to you.

Sounds like you've got plans in motion, nice.

Anybody else with an update, splash it up!

Hey Matthew thanks for checking in, I'm currently working on a business visa I prefer not to let the company do my visa for flexibility, my goal is to be in Saudi or Qatar by August. Is it ok if we email? I would love to discuss something's with you if you have the time? Hope the Delta went well the only delta I have is the sink :/

How are things, former CELTA folks? Missing the course yet? ;)

Let us know how your post-CELTA life has been going, any teaching/travel on the horizon yet?

Hope the 2nd half of the course was great for you after I left and you guys enjoyed teaching that great Upper-Int group of students!

Cheers!

Matthew

Hey Matthew. You were talking about a link for an online assessment for students who are interested in being a part of our practice group. How would we get that? I have a guy who is interested.

Hope you had a great weekend and enjoy you time in Detroit.
