Priding themselves on having high standards, York English aim to do ESL differently.

When teaching at York English, each classroom is equipped with two whiteboards as well as a TV with USB and in some cases electronic whiteboards. Outside the classroom each school has a fully-stocked library where students can borrow English books and educational DVD’s to allow them to bring English into their home environment.

At York the students are divided into three groups.

  • Kindergarten (Aged 4 – 6)
  • Juniors (Aged 7 – 11)
  • Seniors (Aged 12 – 16)

 

Kindergarten classes have a maximum of 12 students, while Junior and Senior classes have 16 students per class. York also provides teaching assistants for all Kindergarten classes and all beginner level classes.

Each group has a specific text series that accompanies it, and a detailed curriculum for the teachers to follow. With that said, the teachers still have the freedom to experiment and bring their own creativity into the classroom. The curriculum is there to guide the general direction of study in the classroom with the teacher deciding on which activities are best suited to the material and the group they are teaching. York strives to provide the best resources possible for the teachers and so you will find the teachers’ office stocked with posters, puppets, flashcards, DVDs and an array of our props to inspire new ideas.

Training and Orientation

 

When teachers first arrive, it is understood that this is a transition period. It is difficult enough to change cities or change jobs, and the whole experience is intensified by the fact that you are now living in China. With this in mind York has created an initial orientation and training program to help ease teachers into their new lives.

At the moment the school employs over 75 foreign teachers from native-English speaking countries around the world. Though our teachers all come from different educational and professional backgrounds, they are brought together by the same passion for teaching and helping their students reach their full potential.

 

Teacher Community

 

York teachers experience a strong sense of community and belonging. From your first welcome meal with all of teachers to your farewell dinner when you finally decide to move on, York does all it can to welcome teachers. Staff regularly socialise together, celebrate holidays, travel and support each other.
