English Activity Teacher - Winter Campo

The programme offers Spanish school children, 12-14 years of age, the chance to spend a week immersed in English, with workshops, sports and activities in the company of native-level teaching staff. Groups of 50 children come from individual schools, with 2 teachers as chaperones and spend Monday to Friday with us at the Youth Hostel. All activities will be done in English accompanied by our staff at all times. The activities include NATURE TRAILS, RECYCLING, LEADERSHIP ACTIVITIES, SONG WRITING, ROLE PLAY, SCRAPBOOKING, MAKING VIDEOS, ANIMATION, PHOTOGRAPHY, COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES, SPORTS, MUSIC, DANCE so we need staff with lots of energy and specific skills in any of these areas. We will have a team of 6 staff made up of 4 members who will be native level English speakers. Staff are on site by 9 am Monday morning and finish by 3 pm on Friday. Weekly hours will be 27 teaching and contact hours, 4 hours of supervision and 8 hours of planning/feedback time. We would expect everybody to work 2 sessions a day. Our staff are expected to help them practice English at all times. There will be two Programme Directors who speak Spanish, English and Basque. They will be in charge of the overall supervision of the programme. We offer full board accommodation in shared rooms with a bathroom. We may be able to cater to dietary requirements (doctor´s prescription) but there are no cooking facilities so come prepared for immersion in stock northern Spanish cuisine. This is ideal for entry-level applicants, with a keen interest in the outdoors and activity-based workshops.
