Senior Teachers

Each teacher is assigned to a Senior Teacher, who acts as a mentor, looks after them and provides them with support and assistance.

Teachers receive regular feedback to help with their development. The Senior Teacher observes the teacher’s classes, meets with them to go through feedback, and also passes on any feedback we receive from students. Each teacher has an Individual Development Plan to set up tasks and goals for teaching skills they would like to work on. 

Resource Centre

Our teachers have excellent facilities for preparing their lessons.

We have a well-equipped library (also accessible online) and Resource Centre with a full-time librarian, textbooks, magazines, printers, computers, laminator and Wi-Fi. We have a monthly newsletter for teachers with teaching tips and resources, as well as information about our team and clients.

Methodology

Our methodology has been carefully developed on the basis of our experience of corporate language training. It includes effective elements for the rapid improvement of language skills.

Who is this methodology for?

It enables us to teach languages effectively to busy professionals, who can only devote a limited amount of time out of their busy schedule. It is suitable for students who do not have much time for self-study, preparation and homework.

What does this methodology offer?

It ensures that each lesson focuses on the student’s specific language needs. It teaches people to use speech in context, and effectively remove any barriers that naturally occur. Coach&Practise is constantly being perfected thanks to continued cooperation with our students.

How does it work?

Prepare

The first step of a successful course is the language audit, in which we map out the student’s knowledge and skills, at the same time finding out the student’s individual needs. This tells us if we need to concentrate on business language, conversation, confidence when speaking on the phone, or any other type of communication the student requires for their job. We select the teacher according to the student.


Coach

The style of lessons according to Coach&Practise runs counter to the lecture-style of teaching, and enables students to actively use the language. The method guides the student towards effectively learning the language by using visualisation, self-correction and finding the best way to communicate their ideas.


Practise

Language is a reflex, and is best mastered through active use. In their lessons, our students actively speak for up to 80% of the time, always in the target language. The lessons are logically linked together, plenty of practice helps students remember new language and motivates them to actively use it in their professional and everyday lives.

Our outstanding teachers

Using the Coach&Practise method very effectively improves the language level of each student. Our teachers are led by experienced Senior Teachers who support their further development through feedback and mentoring. We organise up to 80 different workshops for teachers every year, which builds on their skills and helps us to continuously perfect our methodology.

What our teachers say about us...

Great team and development opportunities

Tanner Christopher LeTourneau
Senior Teacher

There are several best things about JCL. For me, it's the ability to branch out, get involved, and develop as a teacher. If you put in some time, express interest, and do great work, there's no reason you can't get involved in a new way. From Key Teachers and Methodologists to Log Book team and community events, there are several areas to grow into and mold your own work. To build on that, another great aspect of JCL and EDUA Group is the people. The people working at EDUA are willing to go above and beyond in helping you with whatever you need, be it sourcebook selection, course advice, or otherwise!

Variability and growth

April Mislan
Senior Teacher/Community Manager

What I like most about JCL is the ability for development within the company. While the support of the senior teachers and administration is spectacular, not many English centers provide opportunities for their teachers to do more than "just teach". At JCL and EDUA Group you can develop and host workshops for teachers, lead topical meet-ups, write for the monthly magazine, assist with English camps, and even lead demo lessons to prospective clients. I love when I get a chance to take a break from teaching and explore other passions; writing articles for the monthly magazine is a way to explore my creative outlet while still being part of the teaching community. Of course, I also love the monthly social events. As the community manager, I love being able to put together events where new teachers and old teachers bond and make connections. It really makes working at JCL feel like a family. 

Many possibilities and flexibility

Thomas Mander-Jones
Teacher

I have represented JCL and EDUA Group for over three years and in that time have been very involved in my role as a professional language teacher. During this time I have met some interesting students through the school, which is one aspect I appreciate about working with them. Furthermore, there are a gamut of workshops, social events and responsibilities on offer, besides simply 'being in the classroom'. I was also impressed at how fast JCL responded to the pandemic, giving me an ample amount of classes online. My involvement as a native language teacher goes beyond administering classes and I appreciate the responsibilities which have been given to me since working with them. Of late, I have helped to lead an online workshop for over 100 teachers, developed materials for our S.E.N programme and worked with students towards their Cambridge examinations. In the history of my teaching career, I'm hard pushed to think of such a varied post than that of with JCL.
