Role overview
The British Council wishes to recruit a number of English teachers for a series of short-term (two-month) assignments to deliver English language training to employees of a major oil company based in Atyrau (western Kazakhstan), as part of a one-year programme from early August 2014. The programme will be delivered in partnership with a local educational institution where the teachers will be based.
The short-term nature of the assignments is driven by visa limitations. If circumstances change during the course of the programme, the British Council may be in a position to offer a longer assignment, or repeated assignments.
The teaching will be delivered to employees of the oil company over one year, through a mix of general and business / technical English courses arranged according to the learners’ current knowledge and work functions. The employees will include technical and management staff, with a range of English language abilities from beginner upwards, and with a range of required language ability outcomes. The courses will be delivered in short / intensive cycles organised around the employees’ shift-working.
The programme will be managed from the British Council’s office in Almaty, which will provide administrative support to the teachers – necessarily limited, given the distance. The teachers will therefore need to have a degree of self-support and resilience.
