Oman,  Nizwah, Ibri

This advert was posted on: Tuesday, June 24, 2008

CfBT Education Trust seek certified TEFL teachers with 3+ years of experience to work in FE colleges. With local support and over 40 years of experience behind you, you will enjoy the best of all worlds. Salaries from 850-1100 OR/month (tax free)+flights for self+spouse, medical and more. Sept 08.

CfBT Education Trust is a UK-based not-for-profit organisation that was founded over 40 years ago as a provider educational expertise to a range of governments, from Germany to Morocco, Oman, Malaysia and Brunei, and English Language Teaching was and remains an important part of their skill set. CfBT has long practical experience of assisting with education development worldwide, providing them with a unique perspective on the full range of issues in the education and training sector.

CfBT has been working with the Oman Ministry of Higher Education since 2006 to deploy well qualified English as a Foreign Language (EFL) instructors to the Colleges of Applied Sciences in Ibri, Salalah and Nizwah.
The task of English language Instructors appointed to the Colleges is to provide students with the language and study skills needed to do their academic courses through the medium of English. Much of the teaching is concentrated on the foundation year, before students enter their main courses of study, and focuses on raising their language levels and students are given support in English language throughout their time at the college. The language level of the students varies with most students being at Elementary / Lower Intermediate levels on entry to the Colleges.

The normal working day is 8.00 am to 4.30 pm Saturday to Wednesday, with a maximum of 20 teaching hours per week. Non-working days are Thursday and Friday every week and Omani public holidays, as decreed by the Ministry. Days will be given in lieu if, under special circumstances, the Instructor is required to work these days. He/she may be invited to work during the summer term, in which case the Ministry will grant him/her additional remuneration.
Teachers within this programme work under the direction and management of the Colleges of Applied Sciences, and are deployed and supported personally through CfBT’s in-country staff including orientation, the sourcing of housing and flights.

About Oman

Oman is a moderate Middle Eastern country bordered by Yemen, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates with historical links to both Portugal and Great Britain. One of our favourite locations, Oman is a chameleon: whatever you want it to be, it will become. If you are seeking a modern country, you will spot its cosmopolitan shopping malls of Muscat and well-equipped waters ports facilities. If you are seeking antiquity and tradition, you will observe ancient trading towns and smell the aroma of frankincense. Oman is a beautiful country, and, moreover, very unspoiled. Green hills, beautiful beaches, hot sands await you in a country that has a number of Unesco world heritage sites, mountains and deserts, and which shares weather patterns with both India and the Middle East. Welcoming to western visitors, you will find western food, wine and beer served in the international hotel bars and restaurants in the largest cities.

• Candidates must possess good, verifiable and recent teaching references
• Personally, candidates must be confident in their teaching as well as adaptable and independent travellers.
