English Teacher in Astana Kazakhstan
About this position
Unique teaching opportunity and a competitive CV booster, especially for those who want to progress in the ESL, English as a Foreign Language (EFL), and/or linguistics fields. It is also a great opportunity to explore Central Asia.
This is our tenth year at Kazakhstan International Linguistic College (KILC), a college that provides full-time education in English for schoolchildren ranging from Year 9 to Year 12. Our college follows the English model, as opposed to the American one, so the age group more closely mirrors that of an American high school rather than an American college. At the time of writing, there are over 1,000 students studying at KILC, and we are working hard to increase this number.
We are now looking for English Teachers!
