  1. Background Information

 

PH International (also known as Project Harmony, Inc.), an international, non-profit, professional and educational exchange and training organization, is seeking potential candidates for English teacher positions to deliver English language trainings and cultural activities for youth within the English Access Microscholarship Program (ACCESS Program) implemented with support from the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine and the U.S. Department of State.

PH International currently implements the ACCESS program in 15 locations in Ukraine. It is a two-year program (360 hours) that provides a great opportunity for 13 to 15 year-olds from underserved and low-income families to learn about U.S. culture and values, deepen their knowledge of the English language, develop leadership skills and take an active part in the development of Ukraine.

The program consists of two components:

1) English language lessons according to the students’ level, and

2) Cultural activities that build understanding of the United States.

 

The ACCESS Program seeks suitable candidates to fill in two ACCESS English Teacher positions in Ismayil.

 

The ideal candidates should be innovative teachers of English who value meaningful communication, content-based activities, and a student-centered learning environment. Self-development is also a key aim of Access Enhancement activities, which often takes place outside of the classroom. Far less emphasis is placed on traditional approaches to language teaching, for example, grammar, testing, and rote memorization. In short, the experiences of Access students should differ markedly from their experiences in regular English classes.

  • Monitoring and regularly updating dossiers of the students’ attendance and notifying the coordinator of students’ progress through regular written reports.
  • Developing, planning, and implementing the enhancement activities according to the Access Program objectives and duties listed above.
  • Ensuring the health and safety of the students during planned classes and activities.
  • Seeking to improve methodical and pedagogical skills through participation in seminars, lessons offered by visiting experienced colleagues, and self-directed professional development.

 

  1. Qualification Requirements

  • Holding university degree(s) with the qualification “English Language Teacher” and at least three years of experience working with pupils/students.
  • Strong desire and motivation to work with disadvantaged youth.
  • Dedication to working with ACCESS students for two years.

  • Availability for about 5-6 hours a week in the afternoons on weekdays or on the weekends during regular school semesters from November 2018 through August 2020.
  • Availability for intensive sessions during one to two week long summer camps that will be organized for Access students in 2018 - 2020 (day time camps, and residential camps).

  • Basic computer skills with Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint), an Internet browser (Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, Netscape, etc.), and e-mail.

A competitive remuneration for teachers is foreseen based on the number of class hours.
