The Contract

The contracts are fairly standard across the countries with variations due to local labour laws.  You will sign a contract in the country you will be working in, written in the local language and you will be registered with the local labour office.  The terms and conditions are governed by a document in English, which you will be issued with before leaving Britain.  Contracts are usually renewable.  For the next year, your preferred location can usually be accommodated; you can stay in your town, move to another region or transfer to another country with Language Link schools.
 

The Teaching

You are contracted for a total of 40 hours per week (25 hours of classroom teaching, 5 hours of stand-by and the remaining 10 hours can be spent anywhere and are for lesson preparation, homework, correction, test marking, and grading etc.)  You have to attend staff meetings and all seminars, workshops and insets.  You will be observed and we encourage peer observation.  The syllabus is textbook based, not textbook bound.  You are encouraged to supplement with the teacher resource materials available in your school.  Language Link employs the communicative approach to teaching, requiring student-centred lessons.  The bulk of lessons are 'General English' classes in the evening, (from 3.00pm to 8.00pm) with young learners, teenagers and adults.
