Massachusetts International Academy's parent company, CERNET Education, is seeking teachers for teaching positions at partner high schools throughout China. 

The ESL teacher position entails interactive and communicative instruction that provides language training through a variety of approaches focused on specific programmatic goals: a) university preparation, academic skills, and personal development; b) cultural experience and personal growth; c) English language survival skills and basic literacy; d) western culture and values.  Teaching approaches are meaning-focused and student-centered based on the Communicative Language Approach and the Task Based Learning Approach as appropriate. Teachers employ these methods in various ways but generally follow a pattern of presentation, practice and production. Student speaking time is maximized while teacher speaking time is minimized.
