Hi... any information on this Language School which is part of KAU in Jeddah ?

I've seen vacancies advertised there and was intrigued.

Thank you. Very Happy

Prep Year at KAU ? Or something else ?

Prep year I think. English Language Institute- women's college.

Large institution. Lots of teachers. High turnover. IU would not call it a "Language School", reserving vthat label for ELS or Berlitz. It is a bit classier than that !

I don't know about the men's campus, but the PYP at the female campus didn't seem to have a high turnover rate. Ironically, the ELI received accreditation for 5 years from the Commission on English Language Accreditation (CEA). I can't say if that has improved their program.

So NS....does that mean it's better than your average PYP programme or the same?

Does he know or his female colleagues know anything about the setup?

It would be interesting to hear what it's like (especially the women section).

-By setup- I meant why such a high turnover then as Scot indicated
