If you are interested in the position, please write us a personalized cover letter answering the following questions about a potential class at SEG. In your answers, please bear in mind that we’re looking for teachers who can explain/model vocab and grammar in a simple way that is easy for students to understand.

Assume that you are teaching an 80-minute lesson to a group of 1st year junior high school students. They have been learning English for less than one year and they are being introduced to the present perfect for the first time. The students have a low-beginner level of English. You may assume that the students have already been exposed to present simple, present continuous, past simple and past continuous structures, although they will not have been taught those grammatical terms.

1) Given this situation, which usage of the present perfect would you choose to focus on in this lesson and why would you choose that usage as opposed to the others?

2) How would you present or demonstrate the meaning of the present perfect usage that you chose in your answer to question 1?

3) What sort of activities would you do in order to solidify their understanding of the usage of the present perfect that you selected?

4) What degree of mastery of the present perfect usage you selected would you expect students to have at the end of the class?

Only candidates who pass this initial screening will be invited to come for an interview. We plan to hold our initial round of interviews between November 21st and 28th.

Thank you for your application.
