Seoul & Nearby Cities: Reliable and Reputable English School with All Benefits. Monthly Salary: Up to 2.5 Million Won
Dear Teachers,
YES Youngdo English School first opened in 1987. Its ongoing efforts to improve English education in Korea resulted in the establishment of Youngdo Education Corporation in 2001. Currently, there are twenty campuses with over 200 Native English speaking teachers situated in Seoul and Busan.
All YES Youngdo English Schools operate under a single owner, rather than as a franchised system, to uphold the quality of its schools. This has enabled Youngdo to become one of the most respected and successful English-based academic corporations in Korea today.
Youngdo encourages an open line of communication between all campuses and its head office to foster a dynamic workplace. Youngdo is constantly looking for the input of its teachers, both to further the curriculum and to enrich their experience in Korea. The head office, which consists of a team of foreign and Korean staff, focuses on issues such as human resources, curriculum development, and training and support for teachers.
YES Youngdo English School puts a great deal of emphasis on the curriculum. The R&D center constantly strives to improve the curriculum, allowing for the growth and development of both teachers and students. Students range from 3rd grade elementary through to high school. All learning aspects are covered through a reading-based communicative teaching method. Phonics, reading comprehension, conversation, grammar, and writing are covered through different materials such as storybooks, leveled grammar, or language arts books. As the students reach the higher levels, American school textbooks in English, Science, Geography, and History are used to advance their communication abilities.
The curriculum is well-organized and structured with plenty of support. Teachers are provided with quizzes for the main reading books, along with teacher's guides, monthly curriculum sheets, and supplementary materials. Teachers have meetings and workshops on a regular basis during work hours to discuss better ways of teaching as well as to encourage professional development. Teachers with experience are also encouraged to display their individual flair and ability in the classroom.
As well as being a dynamic and ever-expanding English school, YES Youngdo Education Corporation takes part in a multitude of other educational activities. These activities include online lessons, the publication of books, quizzes, tests, and audio recordings of Youngdo¢®¯s reading material. All of these provide an excellent opportunity for teachers to augment their salaries and gain further experience beyond the classroom.
