The American Language Center (ALC) Mohammedia in Morocco is looking for experienced full-time classroom teachers who are familiar with and supportive of innovative, communicative, student-centered language instruction and the use of ed-tech apps in the classroom. This entails managing a student-centered classroom with regular, varied pair- and group-work activities, games, movement and creative in-class task-based projects as well as managing Google Classrooms for both in-class and asynchronous student use. Fun and effective conversational English instruction is our focus.  If you’re a qualified EFL teacher, we welcome you to join the ALC team where innovation, creativity, professional and personal growth are at the heart of our institution!

The American Language Center Mohammedia is a member of the American Cultural Association, a private, non-profit association with 12 Language Centers located in Morocco.
