Skype interview is very much preferred to phone interview, and applicants interviewed using Skype will have better chances to be approved.

In the meantime, please have a look at the FI (Foundation Institute) standards below, which you will work under when/if you join us. In summary, please note that:
1. Working at our institution is a very challenging and demanding task, for both teachers and students.
2. We require teachers to do daily lesson plans, conduct quizzes, give 1-to-1 academic support, customize teaching to suit the individual differences in their classes, meaning designing instructional materials, especially to cater for the low-achievers and the high-achievers in their classes. Teachers must identify weaker students, their areas of weakness, and the remedial plan(s) they have for them, and report back on the progress of their plans.
3. We are trying to get away from the old traditional methods of teaching where students would sit in lines and the teacher is preaching from the front of the classroom. Teaching at the Foundation Institute is very interactive, communicative, learner-centered and task-based. Students sit in pairs or groups and the teacher literally moves around groups helping, advising, supporting and guiding. There is a lot of interaction and discussions. Teachers should have very clear (and loud enough) voice, able to customize the speed of their voice, and have native to native-like pronunciation.
4. We continuously share our students’ feedback with their teachers (feedback on the way of teaching, the curriculum itself, the assessment process, the lesson, the materials used, etc. etc.). Therefore, we expect our teachers to be appreciative and reflective of that, and would take their students’ feedback and opinions (where appropriate and applicable, of course) to better the teaching-learning process. After all, as the saying goes “teaching without learning is just talking”!
5. There are FI facilities that are provided for students to practise the English Language to help promoting their skills & abilities in the subject knowledge. These are Anjiz, the TOEFL lab 20a & VOICE. Thus, teachers are required to contribute to these facilities and offer as much assistance as they could to the students as out of class support.
