Classes are multi-national, have an average of 12 students and a maximum of 14 students and cater for levels A1 to C1 (no classes for beginners or C2 level). The focus will be on creating maximum opportunities for students to communicate meaningfully in English. This will be achieved by language input, tasks and projects in the classroom and excursions structured around weekly themes based on great works of literature.

Teachers are responsible for delivering stimulating and challenging lessons based around our weekly themes and using a combination of FCLC's material and their own material, and will work 17.5 hours in morning classes plus 10.5 hours on afternoon excursions and activities as well as 7 hours' preparation/admin for a total of 35 hours per week.

Teachers must attend the induction days on Friday & Saturday, 27th & 28th June. FCLC will be able to provide accommodation from Saturday, 28th June.
