Freelance Teacher of English

The Professional English language training program for journalists is delivered by the British Council on behalf of the US Embassy in Kazakhstan. The program is designed to support Kazakhstan’s aspiration to develop the professionalism of journalists and expand knowledge of the English language as it becomes a trilingual society. 

The program will provide 160 hours of English classes to journalists at Kazakhstani print, TV, radio and online media outlets in eight cities. Classes will run for a year from February 2019, with breaks over the summer and for Kazakhstani public holidays. Classes will be scheduled outside of normal working hours.   

The training programme will be managed by the British Council in Almaty, which will provide academic management and administrative support to the teachers. Teachers will need to have a degree of self-management and resilience as they will be teaching in partner premises rather than a standard British Council teaching centre.  

There may also be some other teaching opportunities which the British Council Kazakhstan may be able to offer.
