Dear All, I've been asked to circulate the following advert for a part-time teaching vacancy atFettes College in Edinburgh. They are looking to fill the vacancy by the end of the teaching term (26 June). If you are interested in the vacancy, please contact Antonia Bruce ([log in to unmask]) about this directly. Best wishes, Katya Information about the vacancy: We urgently require someone to teach two German _native speakers_, aged 17-18, the _second year_ of the _literature_ component of the International Baccalaureate (IB) German Language A (Language and Literature) course. It would involve 5x40 minutes’ contact teaching in Fettes per fortnight plus 5x20 minutes’ preparation and marking time, working out at 5 hours per fortnight, although this is flexible (we could arrange for two hours per week, for example). The syllabus can be found here <http://www.britishschoolbahrain.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/IB-Language-and-Literature-A.pdf?3ed6a0> for your information. (Paper 2, individual oral commentary and written task). One student is studying the subject at higher level and the other is studying at standard level. They are studying Der Vorleser, Schöne neue Welt (in German translation), Der Besuch der alten Dame, Die Verwandlung, Der Hof im Spiegel and Die Leiden des jungen Werther. Fettes pays around £30 an hour so it would be around 2.5 x £30 per week. The pupils have already covered all except one of the texts they will need for the exam in May 2018. It would be a case of teaching Die Leiden des jungen Werther (or another similar text of the teacher’s choice) to the higher-level student in the autumn term and then focusing on exam preparation: that is, writing essays on the above titles and also commenting orally on passages from them, as well as guiding the higher level student through preparing his written task (coursework). The two pupils are very motivated and work hard. Lessons would have to be conducted in German, preferably by a literature specialist. If you think you can help us out, please put us in touch and we can arrange for you to come in and meet the students and discuss the course in more detail.
