The Conversational English Program Curriculum
The majority of students at Sias must fulfill a 2-year Conversational English requirement as part of their degree plan. Students fulfilling this requirement must take both Freshman and Sophomore Conversational English.
The Converstational English Program Curriculum is composed of a set of global goals and a series of 8 units, each composed of specific goals and objectives intended to guide classroom instruction. Units 1-4 are covered in the freshman year, while units 5-8 are covered in the sophomore year. The focus of the 8 units is on helping the students to develop communicative competence in spoken English to be able to effectively and appropriately socialize on campus, interact in small group opinion-based conversations, relay information and share experiences through story-telling, and successfully perform in job interviews.
Lesson Planning and Resources
Teachers are provided with a unit description for each of the units they teach, specifying what should be focused on in each week’s lessons. Teachers also receive a copy of the student textbook for the course as well as a pronunciation book to use as resources for lesson planning. Finally, all Conversational English faculty members are invited to join a private wiki that was developed specifically to facilitate collaboration among the faculty and to assist teachers in sharing lesson planning ideas and resources.
Apply for Fall Jobs by June 1st (but the earlier you apply the more likely you will get a job offer).
Qualifications: You don't have to have formal teaching experience. This is a great opportunity for those who would love to travel, mentor, and touch lives in China through teaching.
If you do have teaching experience, you are qualified for higher-paying jobs.
