Re: Teachers Wanted in the Philippines

Anonymous — Fri, 26 Sep 2008 04:27:58 GMT

Dear Sir / Madam

I am a qualified and experienced English teacher and I have been teaching in Korea for the past two years. My command of the English language is superb, I speak with a clear accent and I am careful to pronounce and articulate with clarity when students are listening.

It is with full confidence in my talents, training, and experience as an educator that I offer this application for your sympathetic consideration. A review of the contents of my resume, my education, teaching, and employment record will assure you that I am equipped with extensive preparation and performance in the English education field.

I hold both a Bachelor's and a Master's degree from accredited universities (see below). My abilities as a teacher have been honed and enhanced through over ten years of consistent practice in the field. I have meticulously prepared and delivered hundreds of lesson-plans, speeches, and lectures and have taught various age groups, ranging from children to teen-agers to undergraduate students to adults. I have taught conversation techniques and have conducted reading groups and discussion groups for children, university students and adults. I have actively engaged in children's education with a high degree of satisfaction and success. I recently taught in the government Elementary school system of Korea, and I enjoyed relating to and responding to the learning-needs of the children. I was selected to be the Head Teacher for Kaya University's English Summer Camp for Kids. My task was to teach and co-ordinate the activities of 7 other teachers at this intensive English camp for both Elementary and High School students. I am presently teaching undergraduate students at a renowned university in Daegu, Korea. Letters of recommendation are available from this Elementary School.

Along with my formal training and experience, I offer myself as an intelligent, sensitive and articulate person. My vocabulary is extensive and my pronunciation is clear and distinct. I am endowed with an innate sensitivity to the needs of others. I hail from a multi-cultural context and I have adapted to various cultures very well. I am a clear thinker, communicator, and an empathetic teacher who can identify and respond to the particular needs of individual students. I love working with children and have great energy and enthusiasm in the classroomâ¦students are very responsive and positive toward me.

I am currently teaching in Korea...but I am seeking to relocate to the Philippines. I will be available from the middle of December, this year.

I would like to send you my resume and letters of reference attached. I am happy to send you scans of my degrees, passport or any other pertinent information that you require. I also welcome a telephone interview. If you reply to me I would be happy to send you my photograph - to your personal email. Please reply to me at the following email address: mr.k.leigh@gmail.com

4. He dealt with the students very kindly and he was open to listening to the students and to respond to their needs. He has a very good sense of humor and all the students liked him tremendously. They were sad to hear he was leaving us at the end of the year.

5. He was very concerned that students felt they were progressing and learning every day. He taught the students using a variety of teaching styles and methods and he made each class fun and interesting. He has excellent teaching skills and achieved our class purpose, following the lesson plans and teaching objectives.

Dear Professor Tangeman:

My name is Kim Nguyen, currently enrolled in Technical Communication 3363. [act1] Iâm a junior at University of Houston, planning to purse[act2] a major in Bio-Technology. I want to take advanced[act3] of this course, because my standard[act4] communication skills are fairly weak.

Iâm[act5] specifically interested in learning more about the elements of job application letters, informative interview, arguable claim letter and much more. [act6] Iâm wants [act7] to use everyday writing to everyday life. But [act8] I canât ever seem to understand the process of moving from static [act9] documents to richer content. When I took ENGL 1301, I didnât gain anything besides writing good essays to get a decent grade. [act10] The TELS 3363 course wills[act11] definitely an importance [act12] field I needed [act13] to be successful in any of my career choices. [act14]

Therefore, Iâm looking forward to developing a better understanding of communication skills in TELS 3363. I will try my best to expand my knowledge for [act15] this course. Iâm hoping to have a great semester at University of Houston.

Sincerely,

Melbourne, September 17 (ANI): Aussie couples seem to be the world's most faithful, for just three per cent of them were found to have cheated on their love ones in the past year during a survey.

Dr. Juliet Richters, a sex researcher at the University of NSW, carried out telephonic interviews with 6,500 adults, and found that just one per cent of women and four per cent of men in exclusive relationships had had sex with someone else in the past year.

"Australians have an impressively high level of commitment in relationships, probably one of the best in the world," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Juliet as saying.

"And it shows that Australians are certainly consistent because they practise what they preach. They overwhelmingly say that having sex outside a relationships is wrong and that's obviously what they do," the researcher said while making a presentation on the findings of the Australian Longitudinal Study of Health and Relationships at the Australasian Sexual Health Conference in Perth.

However, the statistics have not gone down well with another Sydney sexual health expert Dr. Rosie King, who says that the picture over several years or decades would be "radically different".

"The rate for cheating is more likely to be 40 to 60 per cent in any one relationship, which is depressingly high," she said.

Highlighting the fact that historically men were more likely to cheat, she insisted that the sexes had almost drawn equal these days with women joining the workplace, and gaining the freedom to be unfaithful.

She said that remaining monogamous was a struggle for the majority of couples.

Please explain the emboldened parts to me.

Dear Mister Micawber, teachers and fellow friends,

Thank you for your prompt reply. I really appreciate it. Just one more thing, do you thing I should mention about part time lecturer because I never mention it in my application letter.

The main purpose I want to apply for part time job is because I like to teach people. It makes me remember things better especially things that related to my work (I only teaching subject that related to my work). After all, because of the nature of my job, I have a lot of free time.

Dear Sarah,

With reference to your email of 21^st November, I would like to thank you very much for your invitation. I really appreciate the opportunity for an interview. The position is very interesting. I am very much interested in the opportunity to contribute to University of XYZ. Unfortunately, I have just joined Company X this month, and I will start working on shift as per the following schedule (Where 0 is a working day and X is an off day):

M T W T F S S M T W T F S S

I will soon start this shift work, after completing the training. Currently, I must come to my office 9 â 5 every day.

As I have just joined the company, it would be difficult to take a day's leave at the moment. Would it be possible for you to postpone my interview until I am on shift work, when I could then have it scheduled during one of my off days?
