The English Language Teacher Development Project was initiated in 2010 at the request of the Ministry of Education, Malaysia. This project aims to enhance the lower primary ESL (English as a Second Language) teachers’ ability to plan and deliver quality English lessons based on the new National English Language Curriculum in 600 schools across East Malaysia. This will improve implementation of the national curriculum – its aims, objectives and standards – into effective and appropriate classroom lessons and to set up support structures that will facilitate teachers’ continuing professional development.
We are looking for two independent, flexible and self-motivated Project Managers to join a team working on an exciting project with the Malaysian Ministry of Education. This is an excellent development opportunity for anyone interested in teacher training/mentoring and project management in a rural, primary context and a unique chance to experience the biodiversity of Borneo from within its fascinating culture.
You will be part of a management team working to provide Malaysian early primary teachers with methodology training, teaching resources and continuous professional development in order to improve the teaching of English in Malaysia. Working as a Project manager with a group of teacher mentors working in primary schools in Malaysian Borneo, you will provide support and management to your group of mentors and also contribute to project development and operations.
You must have a minimum of a recognised TEFL diploma level qualification and significant teaching/training experience including with young learners. Experience of teacher training/development, line management or coaching/mentoring and experience of project management are essential.
