Elementary ELL Teacher

1. About the Role

You will lead English language instruction for elementary students (K7-G8) at Lausanne, where most learners arrive with Korean as their first language and a wide range of English proficiency — from emerging to near-fluent. Your work will move each student forward at their level through pull-out support, working in close coordination with homeroom teachers. This is a full-time position with one direct line of accountability: that students leave each year demonstrably more capable in academic English than when they arrived. 

Responsibilities

• Teach daily ELL classes grouped by proficiency level (Reading, Writing, Speaking, Grammar)

• Assess incoming and ongoing student proficiency (MAP or equivalent) and adjust groupings each term

• Co-plan with homeroom and subject teachers so language objectives align with content learning

• Communicate progress to parents in clear and accessible terms (translation support available)

• Contribute to ELL curriculum review, resource selection, and assessment design

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Education, TESOL, Applied Linguistics, or a related field

• Valid teaching license or certification

• Minimum 2 years of classroom experience with elementary and middle school age English learners

• Native or near-native English fluency

• Ability to design differentiated instruction based on students’ language proficiency levels

• Strong understanding of literacy development, including phonics, reading, and writing instruction 

• Excellent communication and collaboration skills with students, teachers, and parents

Preferred Qualifications

• TESOL/TEFL certification or ESL endorsement

• Experience in international school settings or multicultural environments 

• Conversational Korean (helpful for parent communication; not required)

2. Contract Period

• 1 year, renewable (Long-term employment available upon mutual agreement)

3. Work Conditions

• Working Hours: Monday to Friday, 08:30 ~ 17:30 (including lunch break)

• Location: Songdo International City Global Campus, Yeonsu-gu, Incheon, South Korea

• Two professional references
