Full Time Position: Andong, Korea Secure Position at English Village Offered by City Government

Imagine working in an authentic English Village and living in the heart of Korea. If you’re interested in working in a dynamic, challenging, and rewarding environment, look no further than the Andong English Village (AEV). Our Village is not a private hagwon, but a semi-public school subsidized by the Andong City Government and operated by the Andong National University Continuing Education Center (ANUCEC).
Andong English Village (AEV) is an English language program which is sponsored by the City of Andong. Modeled after an English-speaking town, AEV provides situational based learning to primary and secondary students from the public schools in Andong and from nearby regional areas. The school is unique in that it offers several different venues in which Korean students can practice speaking English in a real environment, instead of using the outmoded method of rote memorization and exams. We are currently looking for teachers who can join our outstanding team.
Andong is located 1 hour north of Daegu, 2 hours east of Daejeon, and 3 hours southeast of Seoul. Unlike Seoul, Andong retains and promotes a great deal of Korean culture. There are museums, culture centers, temples, and other attractions that allow foreign visitors to immerse themselves in 'the land of the morning calm.' Also, it annually hosts the internationally famous ‘Andong Mask Dance Festival’ which is praised as ‘the best festival in Korea’
Our facility lies inside the Andong National University campus, which makes it convenient to stop by the university fitness center (complete with swimming pool) or one of the many restaurants during your free time. We are not an 'English amusement park.' We offer about 52 students weekly an 'English only' environment equipped with 15 situational classrooms and 1 mini basketball court. We place a strong emphasis on a real academic learning experience. We have a very supportive staff that is committed to making your stay in Korea the best possible.
Qualified, cheerful and interactive teachers who can work as part of a team are always enthusiastically welcomed. We look forward to your interest in working with us and enjoying our EXCELLENT working facilities. Thank you.
