Be part of our growing and unique organization!
What does Bilingual.hu offer that makes this program different?
- We provide professional development training opportunitiesat multiple points throughout each school year, starting with in-depth orientation and training in August prior to the start of school. We work with top teacher trainers, from within Hungary, the UK and further afield.
- We offer an innovative approach to teaching, including theinteractive and communicative approach favored in EFLenvironments as well as Content and Language Integrated Learning (CLIL)in our subject lessons at all grade levels and in the kindergarten. As such, we co-teach: teachershold lessons jointly and alternate in the leading role, switching languages throughout the course of the lesson. Students thus study simultaneously in both English and Hungarian. We are also innovating in terms of technology in teaching, integrating various online learning platforms into our program and making extensive use of tablets in our primary and high school classrooms.
- Our program also offers the chance to work alongside highly experienced Hungarian teaching professionals, whose knowledge and expertise are part of our program’s offerings to our staff members. We work very closely with our co-teachers, so we can learn a tremendous amount from them as we go along.
- For all these reasons we believe Bilingual.hu offers unrivaled opportunities for development. We hope – and believe – that working in our program will allow for both rapid and broad professional development as well as the personal growth that comes out of taking on a challenge and becoming part of a tightly-knit teaching team and a truly unique learning environment.
Is there enough support for new teachers?
In addition to the intensive run of August orientation and training and the additional annual visits from our external trainers, teachers can count on their school-based Team Leadersfor a range of support. We also gather and share teaching material in our shared Materials Driveand hold regular sharing sessions so staff can learn from each other in the best tradition of the teaching community.
