To whom this may concern,

For the last ten years I have been working in the education sector, both within secondary schools, colleges and with adult learners. For part of this time, I worked as a tutor for Functional skills maths and English. The students were all taking an apprenticeship course and completing the Level 1 or 2 Functional Skills qualification to support their chosen career path. I was part of a group of tutors, centrally based. As the students were all distance learning, the English and maths content was available to them online. When they reached certain stages, we would contact them via email and then via telephone calls for a progress check, to make sure they were understanding the course objectives as they worked through the content. If on the call it become apparent they were not grasping the learning, I would spend time to teach them the aspect they were struggling with, until they had a clearer understanding. After each progress check and teaching session, feedback was provided to the learner on a document where their previous checks were available to them. This allowed the students to see their progress over time. As well as tutoring via calls, I also marked mock exams papers and provided feedback with clear targets to improve their work.

Part of my role whilst tutoring and again now in my current role, is to assess the Speaking, Listening and Communication Assessment for the Functional Skills Level 2 English qualification (SLC). The assessment involves running a session for four to six students on a Zoom meeting call. I guide them through the aspects of the assessment and making sure the students are under exam style conditions, reassuring nervous students, and making sure all the assessment criteria is covered within the session. After the recorded assessment is completed, I assess each student to the exam boards standards and provide detailed feedback upon their individual performance. Each student gains a pass or fail mark. If they have failed, within the feedback I provide clear notes on how to improve their preparation and actions within the assessment to help them gain a pass next time they complete the SLC.

In my current role I work within adult education. Our learners consist of several key groups. This includes adults who wish to improve their job opportunities and therefore are returning to education, children who are home schooled, and adults who have settled in the UK where their first language is not English and require English qualifications to progress their career options. We deliver Functional Skills Level 2 in English and maths, a wide range of GCSE qualifications, and a number of A Level qualifications. It is my responsibility to provide all the learners with the correct information for their exams, reasonable adjustments, advice, and support through the process. In the case of Functional Skills, I register students with the exam board, book exams, forward exam results and organise the certification process. For the GCSE and A-Level qualifications, I need to pass on the correct student details to our exam partners for entry as well as liaise with them as issues arise. I work remotely, organising my own time to ensure the processes run smoothly and all students, and that all receive the required information in a clear, concise, and timely fashion.

My previous roles in school settings consists of taking ownership and the management of the GCSE, A Level and BTEC examinations. I liaise with teaching staff and the Senior Leadership Team (SLT) to complete the registration for all candidates via the school’s information management systems and manage the process regards withdrawals, late entries Etc. Within the last school there was a cohort of around 250 GCSE candidates with a further 200 candidates in Year 13 taking Level 3 qualifications, plus private exam candidates. I was directly responsible for the application of access arrangements, liaising with the tutors and the SENCo teams, special considerations, result processing and the certification process. It was my responsibility to provide all the learners with the correct information for their exam, timetabling, seating plans and JCQ guidelines.

I have worked in the past at a College as a Careers Advisor. Within this role I worked independently as the only Careers Advisor within a small careers team. I was responsible for IAG (information, Advice and Guidance) for both current and potential learners. I supported Level 1 and 2 students, A level and BTEC Level 3 students applying for university and students completing degree courses (HNC and HND level), as well as adult learners going back into education. The support was offered in face-to-face interviews, informal drop-in sessions, group workshops and presentations. I advised learners on the UCAS process (applying for university) and liaised with external partners to ensure an excellent service was delivered. Learners were provided with targets to aid progression. I have also completed a 13-week placement at De Montfort University with their Careers Department for my Postgraduate Diploma. Again, this involved one-to-one interviews, running work shops and presentations to large groups of learners.

I am very self-motivated and enjoy a challenge. I have worked tirelessly to gain a clear understanding of the processes of examinations to complete my role to the highest standards. I have played an active role to get to know the learners and support their needs during the exam season. Offering advice and guidance is also required for candidates who find the examination period stressful. I have kept up to date with my learning and training in such areas as Prevent, Equality and Diversity, Health and Safety and Safeguarding. I have strong communication and interpersonal skills developed through working in the public sector. I have experience of liaising effectively with students, tutorial teams, SLT, and third-party establishments in the form of other schools and sixth forms, JCQ and external awarding bodies. I have worked in teams and individually within the NHS, within the education roles I have had and currently as part of a small team delivering qualifications.

I would love the opportunity to work abroad and to further my skills in becoming an EFL Teacher. I believe that I can make a positive impact, I have the organisation skills and tutoring background required for the role and I would relish the challenge of working in this environment.

To whomever this may concern,

Thank you for the chance to work on getting to work in South Korea. I am excited about the prospect of joining a teaching staff in educating young minds and achieving their full potential. I come from the US but I live in Lebanon and looking forward to emigrating.

Let me tell you a little bit about myself. I have been working as an ESL teacher for Grades 2-5 for five years at a private school. While there, I got along very well with the kids and understood how to impart the lesson on them through eliciting, and examples relevant to them.

Afterwards, I attained a TEFL certificate, worth 120 hours of training, and an additional 30 for an Advanced Certification in Teaching Young Learners.

My goal as an educator is motivation and love for the subject, because after all, if you do not love the subject, you cannot learn or teach the subject. I always believed children can and should learn English to develop the social skills necessary for everyday life. I enjoy a 100% acceptance rate of parents who knew me and heard of me from their kids. All of them appreciated my efforts

If you would like to learn more about me or my philosophy of teaching, feel free to email me or contact me at my phone number, 03094902, (Area code 961). Thank you for considering me.

Sincerely,

Adnan Bey

JONG NAM: Korea: Michigan State University BS, Catholic Kwandong University BA: Jul 23, 2023

Self-Introduction

With respect to my personality, I consider myself an introvert and also extravert through a life in the US and eventually to be open-minded, which I had learned and experienced the cultures, customs, traditions, manners, etiquette, and values of the US where I graduated high school and college and earned an Economics degree in 2007. The challenges of being ambitious, hard-work, effort, and courage, which approximately ten years of my youth were spent there, played an important role in my personality development in a positive way that I was able to treat others with kindness, respect, and love in a considerate manner through the interaction of people of different racial and ethnic groups.

I spent four or five years in my late twenties and early thirties working at variety groups of companies in Seoul and other industrial areas in South Korea where I could handle with many different kinds of tasks in the field such as International Trade, Marketing, Finance, Domestic Trade, and Accounting. However, after quite time passed, I could not found out any values that give my own lives meaning after commuting from work to home everyday, and after all, I realized that my personality didn’t match all these jobs. At this present moment, although I could understand the core principle of Economics through hard work, back in the old days, I thought that my personality didn’t match to the Economics major. Thus, I decided to return to school, known as Catholic Kwandong University in Gangwon-do Province, later in life as a transfer student in 2014, and obtained a Certificate of Secondary 2 Full-time Teacher.

Although I haven’t had any prior research with a professor, my work experiences and educational backgrounds in Economics and English Education have provided me with a strong and comprehensive understanding of English Education. I am actively involved with working in a wide variety of groups, and take an active role within the group in order for the collaborative group work well done. My hobbies are reading a book, to climb a mountain around my house, and watch the current general issues of the economy, healthcare, environment, society, and politics in the US through the Internet, especially on weekends.

By referring to the saying “Time goes fast”, I had the ironic thought that the speed of my learning is faster than time in which I felt like returning to the same lifetime in a past-life, with the exception of the environment where I can manage my time effectively, plan and organize my study schedule, in the school.

The experience in the US and South Korea was a unique opportunity to broaden my understanding and knowledge of improving performance in learning and to find out new ideas, thoughts, judgments, reasonings, insights and beliefs in the study which I can devote all my strength to maintain in an area where I can push myself forward.

Reasons for Application

I am honored to apply for the teaching job at Interantional Private School in Qingdao, China because I am passionately interested in syntax and the theory of English Education, the study of English Education gives me great pleasure, and my ultimate goal is to be an academic and make contributions to teaching and publish books related with English Education.

In syntax, I accidently picked up a book name called Radford’s Transformational Grammar, a first course, 1988 among other linguistic books. Even though I had a difficulty understanding the book, I started to read without any expectation, to be very interested in the logics, and enjoyed the way the author explained his observation, experiments, rules, principles and other relevant theories, in which, his assumption and generalization on the concept with a reasonable explanation drove me into thinking in a logical and analytical way, along with managing my school work.

In brief, mostly, dealing with a concept of x-bar theory, head and adjuncts, c-specifier position, alpha movement rules and finally reaching to Emonds’ structure-preserving constraint, which is supposed to be the main goal of the syntax, really motivated me the most to learn more about syntax, and to follow the dual degree program. Especially, when Radford indicated about the complement and adjunct, I continued to think to find out about other ways to distinguish the complement and adjunct instead of using their basic principle, which involves their location to the head, of which, eventually led me into studying deeply about the relationship between the complement and adjunct, which, in turn affected me greatly with feeling that the more I study the more I wanted to know about the syntax.

In the theory of English Education, my thoughts on the best method of teaching and learning through using Long’s interactional hypothesis in a social constructivist model of the second language acquisition and Daughty’s, the negotiation of meaning, have led me to pursue this degree involving intensive research in English Education from which I assume that they are closely related each other to produce the comprehensible input which leads to the language acquisition based on my observation, my personal experience, the particular circumstances and facts.

Lastly, my primary motivation of this application is that I believe that I could help learners express their inner creative potentialities, and teach my conceptions, abstractions, notions, ideas, knowledge and the learnt thoughts in the near future for the younger generations who can be a competitive, innovative, and creative in any places around the world where English is used.

Rosemary: United Kingdom: The Open University: Aug 30, 2023

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to apply for the primary school English teacher role at your school in Qingdao, China. I saw the job advertised on www.tefl.org and am available to start immediately.

I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts from the Open University in 2018 and got my TEFL and child developmental psychology certificates in 2021. I also have a certificate in counselling skills, and I am a King's College London postgraduate student studying psychology and neuroscience of mental health distance learning.

I have always enjoyed working with children; I am working with a diverse group of children voluntarily teaching English as a second language, reading & creativity, and playgroups. I also did some mentoring with Project Scotland which I didn't include in my CV. I enjoy watching children learn and develop as they discover the world around them. Although the job didn't state the years of experience required, I believe that my voluntary experience working with children and the skills I have developed whilst studying give me a better understanding of children and would enable me to do a better job.

The children in my care are my priority, including their learning, safety, and general well-being. I encourage and support their curiosity to explore and promote social relationships because it helps facilitate their learning. Thus, I am flexible and adaptable to every aspect of their changing learning needs and open to learning and finding creative ways to do things. I go the extra mile to ensure that the children in my care are happy learners.

I am personable, energetic, fun, empathetic compassionate, and a great listener. I have general cultural awareness, with cross-cultural empathy & behavioural flexibility skills, as these are needed to build rapport & trust in people, creating a comfortable & fun environment for learning. I also understand the importance of parent-teacher relationships in fostering a robust learning environment for the developing child.

I am dedicated in all I do and reflective because it helps me grow both personally & professionally. I can work as part of a team as well as independently. I know how to manage my time and am flexible with covering for absences. I would make a great addition to your team if given the opportunity. I have attached my CV to this application for your review, and thank you in advance for your time.

I look forward to hearing from you.

With kind regards,
Rosemary Frost
