Teaching Duties

Although teaching duties vary from one school to another, average teaching loads range from 14 to 18 hours of instruction per week. The emphasis of teaching is on “conversational English” and North American culture. Many teachers may teach English composition, reading and American literature as well. Some teachers may also teach courses in subject field such as music, history, geography, or science courses in some international schools. As with positions in the states, teachers are expected to write lesson plans, take attendance, correct homework and even assist in academic counseling when needed.
