 Posted: Wed Sep 06, 2006 5:29 am Post subject: I wanna teach at an International School! |
 |
|
| My education (two masters degrees), experience (3 years teaching ESL) and skills (directing theatre and creative writing) are not being utilised in my school. I'm in Jakarta and available - how do I get considered for a plum job in an International School? Any advice or leads greatly appreciated! |

| If I did know of plum jobs available at an international school like that, I would be typing my application letter and updating my CV right now instead of surfing the net while I mark these darn assignments... |

You have 2 masters degrees, but you can't google 'International Schools - Jakarta'?
WOW! |

| The number of "real" International Schools in Indonesia is actually closer to 15. If you have the list, then you've got started. If you want a foot in the door, you need to get out there and make some effort. Do you really think some stranger on a net chat board is going to offer a prized and sought after job to you? |

| Seeing you're in Jakarta, the number of International Schools is closer to 10. |

Good point. Don't confuse International schools with National Plus. The latter represent a wide variety of different schools that offer the national curriculum (KURNAS) with a 'plus' component that depends on the school.
Salaries are ltypically less than half those paid by the big Internationals, but rather more than most language schools (though not all). International schools usually pay in hard currency. |

|

I know I am a pedantic old git, but since when did the word "WANNA" become part of the English language?
Is there a faint hope that an English teacher (elect) might spell correctly, even if the spoken bit is slightly off? |

It's been ages that Americans are using Wanna, Gonna, etc....
Update yourself guruengrish because all those slangs are in the new TOEFL IBT.
