Job Description

Position : Spanish and French Teacher (Middle and High School)

Compensation Rate : Pays up to $55

Focused Staffing Group is seeking a dynamic and engaging World Language teacher to teach Middle and Upper School Spanish and French. The World Language Department is structured around the intensive study of French or Spanish.

Job Description :

Instruction within the department includes not only the usual skills of reading, writing, and listening, but introduces an entirely new way of speaking. Proper use of intonation, appropriate facial expressions, and gestures inherent to native speakers are emphasized along with the obvious use of new sets of vocabulary and grammatical structures.

Instruction is through the immersion method; limited English is spoken in the class after the first few weeks. Grammatical structure is taught orally throughout the curriculum, as required by given situations, rather than in a structured series of exercises. The ultimate goal of the study of world language is to demonstrate that a world language can become a natural means of communication and an integral part of life.

Qualifications :

The ideal candidate will engage students in a variety of ways to engender enthusiasm for the lessons, and he / she will embrace the idea of the immersion method. A Bachelor’s degree is required, and a Master’s degree or higher is preferred. Ideal candidates should have a high degree of fluency in both Spanish and French (at least Advanced on the ACTFL proficiency level or at least B2 on the DELF framework)

Our partner school is a co-ed, college-preparatory day school for students in grades PK-3 through 12. The school's mission is to instill in every student the habits of scholarship and honor. The school challenges its students to develop intellectually, spiritually, and physically.
