What is the role of the EFL teacher?

You might also be required to help with pastoral duties.

Excursion days: Students have one full-day and one half-day excursion per week. You might be on the rota to go on an excursion with the students if it is not your day off (teachers day off can only be excursion day or arrival/departure day). On excursion, you will need to show the students around the attractions but will receive an excursion pack with all the necessary information.

Arrival/departure day: Students always arrive/depart on Wednesdays. You might be asked to help with registering new students or taking them to their rooms or giving a site tour.

Summer school is also a great way to learn from your peers as we have many returning staff who have a wealth of experience and are always happy to share their experiences and ideas.
