Notes on
Questionnaire
for School
Owners |
 |
|
 |
A1. All
our
teachers
are
native
speakers
of
English.
Many of
them
have
university
degrees
in other
languages,
such as
French,
German
or
Italian,
and so
can
teach
those
languages
as well.
If
required,
we are
also
able to
supply
native
speakers
of those
languages.
A2. All
our
teachers
have a
university
degree
(BA or
BSc),
which,
together
with
their
native-speaker
status,
is
accepted
by the
Greek
authorities
as a
sufficient
qualification.
The
degree
may be
in any
subject.
They
also
have a
TEFL
Certificate,
which
gives
them a
practical
grounding
in the
basics
of TEFL.
Some
also
have
higher
degrees,
such as
a
Master's.
A3. Many
of our
teachers
are
newly-qualified,
having
just
finished
their
university
course
and
teaching
certificate.
Others
are
highly-experienced
TEFL
professionals.
If you
require
an
experienced
teacher,
please
state
how many
years'
experience
and what
kind of
experience
(e.g.
Business
English,
or
Cambridge
Proficiency).
A4. All
our
teachers
are at
least 22
years
old, as
they
have all
finished
university,
but we
also
have
many who
are more
mature.
Please
specify
the age
range
you
prefer.
A5. If
you have
a strong
preference
for a
male or
female
teacher,
please
mark M
or F. If
you have
no
preference,
mark X.
A6. If
you have
any
other
requirements,
please
state
them.
These
might
include
computer
skills,
a
driving
licence,
or
anything
else
which
you
consider
important.
We will
endeavour
to meet
any
requirements
that you
specify.
As long
as we
are
informed
of your
requirements
in
advance
of the
interviews,
we can
discuss
them
with the
candidates
where
appropriate
to
ensure
that we
make the
best
possible
selection.
B1.
Please
describe
the
location
of the
school
as fully
as
possible
to
ensure
that the
teacher
we
supply
will
know
what to
expect.
Give
information
about
the size
of the
village
or town,
and the
extent
of
facilities
available,
including
public
transport.
B2-B4.
These
questions
are
designed
to
provide
information
for the
teacher
about
the
working
environment.
This
will be
treated
in the
strictest
confidence.
B5.
Please
indicate
the kind
of
teaching,
such as
General
English,
Business
English,
etc.
B6. For
a
typical
small
school,
we
recommend
the
following
arrangement,
to allow
each
class to
have the
benefit
of
contact
with the
native-
speaker
teacher:
A
Class............1 hour
per week
B......................3
C
.....................3
D......................3
FCE1...............
4
FCE2................4
CAE
.................4
CPE..................4
========================
TOTAL 26
hours
per week
In the
Junior
classes
you may
prefer
not to
use the
native-speaker
teacher.
From A
Class,
students
should
be
allowed
at least
one hour
per week
to do
communicative
activities.
In
Classes
B, C and
D, we
recommend
that the
native-speaker
should
teach
the main
course,
while a
Greek
teacher
may have
one
lesson
per week
with
each
class if
you use
a
supplementary
grammar
book.
C1.
Please
indicate
the
approximate
number
of hours
per week
you
require
the
English
teacher
to do
lessons,
not
including
other
duties.
This
should
usually
be at
least
twenty-five
hours,
but
arrangements
can
sometimes
be made
for
part-time
work.
C2. The
minimum
wage for
2011-2012
is 8.13
euros
gross
per hour
for the
hours
spent
teaching.
This
amount
is
announced
by the
Ministry
of
Labour
each
year.
You do
not pay
extra
for the
hours
spent
preparing
lessons
and
correcting
work. If
you wish
to
attract
teachers
with
more
than the
minimum
level of
qualifications,
you
should
offer
more
than the
minimum
wage.
C3. In
addition
to the
minimum
wage,
you
should
provide
accommodation
for the
teacher. |
