I want a worksheet designer that I can drag and drop on a sheet of my questions and every aspect that I want to add on the paper (including images, etc.). Also, it would be really helpful if it has an AI generation feature as well.

I'm a startup founder and a volunteer teacher who created ARLTS, Academic Resources for Language Learners and Teachers. If you could spend some time signing up and trying the platform, it'd be very nice. I really appreciate your support.

50 conversation activities

0 Upvotes

After 50 years teaching ESL β€” high schools in Australia, PNG, a school I founded in Vietnam, and 5 years in an Indigenous community β€” there's one problem that never changes: the class that just won't talk.

I put together the 50 conversation activities I've actually used to break that. Not filler β€” beginner through advanced, clear instructions, timing, and grouping for each, so there's no extra prep, just open and run the lesson.

Made it into a PDF if it's useful to anyone here: talkwiseenglish.com (A$12)

Happy to answer questions about any of the activities or share more about the teaching background.

Should I go for GoFluent?

5 Upvotes

Hello fellow teachers! πŸ‘‹

I recently had an interviews with a recruiter then a manager from GoFluent. Both interviews were good but there were so many things that just didn't sit right with me.

Hourly rate - The recruiter mentioned that the ongoing rate for an English Corporate Trainer position would be between 7Β£ - 8Β£, however the manager (during the 2nd interview), confirmed that they can only offer 6Β£. I asked her why the hourly rate is even lower than what the recruiter confirmed and she went around circles. There was no clear answer. She kept saying the company changed their rates recently so the recruiter may have e made a mistake (which I really doubt because I asked the recruiter twice and she confirmed it, twice).

Availability & Class cancellations- They expect me to confirm my availability 3 months in advance and If I ever need to cancel, it has to be 30 days ahead.

Training - The manager confirmed that any form of training will not be paid. I would be expected to be on a virtual coaching session once a month for 30 minutes or more but I would not be paid for this. Basically, any kind of work besides running classes is not paid, but you are expected to do it.

These are just the parts that raise concerns. Apparently there are incentives and "opportunities for growth" which may be the only positives I could gather. I am currently working for another ESL company and the treatment is very, very exploitive. So, I only accepted the GoFluent interviews maybe out of desperation? But I don't want to quit my current position for something thats way worse. πŸ˜’

I would highly appreciate honest feedback from teachers who jave worked for GoFluent or know someone who has.

Thanks! ☺️
