Sub: Application for the teaching position- ESL Instructor Dear Sir,

It's my pleasure to apply for a teaching position in your institute. I have a doctoral degree and a Master’s degree in English Language and literature and a PGDL- Postgraduate diploma in Linguistics with a specialization in Language teaching methodologies. I have excellent communication skills and management skills. I have quality assurance skills especially in ‘teaching and learning’. I have over 20 years of international teaching experience in India, Maldives, Libya and Saudi Arabia. I have taught English as ESL, EFL and ELA. I have taught students of different cultural backgrounds and varying academic levels. I have taught IGCSE and A level students. I also taught undergraduate students of different universities. I have a good number of years of experience in administrative and academic fields. I have held positions such as Administrative bursar and Program officer in my teaching career. Recently I have held positions such as Head of the Quality Assurance Committee, and Program Quality Coordinator overseeing the effective implementation of 'good practices' that improve 'teaching and learning'. I have trained teachers in FDPs- faculty development programs.

During my teaching career, I have worked just in four institutions with long stints and with an excellent track record. Hence, I would like to inform you that with my diverse teaching experience, I shall be able to bring richness to your teaching team and also be instrumental in taking forward the mission of the institute. Regards,

Dr. Solomon P. Surendra. Bondla
