Hi,

Im currently in Poland but looking for a change of scene to Czech Republic. Anyone know of a way to get lists of schools (for Poland there is a Polish language Google search which throws up a list of language schools in a given city)? Or any web sites particularly good for jobs in Czech. Any tips much appreciated.

Cheers.

Try expats.cz , that's probably your best bet right there. If you have experience and can do a demo lesson with ease, then you shouldn't have a problem finding work


FYI - I am aware that Poland tends to favor the Cannon method for teaching English. It might be wise to brush up on the communicative method as well as on major grammar concepts

Yes, Expats.cz is an excellent source.

You'll have to ask them about teaching conditions, etc.

Glossa is run by Dr. David Dvorsky, who is a really good employer, and I would definitely recommend either calling or emailing them.

All the best!

Cheers for that, I'll check it out.

Chris, I wouldn't say Poland prefers the Callan method but yea, there are a few Callan schools. The vast majority use the Communicative Method now though.

TEFL,
Cheers for that. They sound like Matrix fans! If you want the bounty, pm me and you can give them my email address.

Hi EalingKev.

Thanks for the offer but it is your bounty.

Any bounty hunters out there?
