The International Test Pilots School (ITPS) is seeking an experienced and innovative ESL Instructor to support the development and delivery of specialized English-language programming within our aviation training environment in London, Ontario.

This is a unique opportunity for an ESL professional who enjoys both curriculum development and adult instruction.

As ITPS expands its English-language training capability, the successful candidate will initially play an important role in researching, developing, and refining new English-language programs and learning materials. As the programs move into delivery, the position will transition into a combination of classroom instruction, curriculum development, learner assessment, and continuous program improvement.

Our learners are adult professionals, including pilots and engineers, with varying levels of English-language proficiency. The successful candidate will therefore need to adapt instruction and learning materials to different language levels while supporting learners in a highly technical, professional aviation environment.

• Conduct research to support the development of new ESL programs and curricula.
• Identify, evaluate, and adapt level-appropriate instructional resources and learning materials.
• Assist in developing course content, lesson plans, learning activities, assessments, and supporting materials.
• Develop language-learning content appropriate for adult professional learners in an aviation and technical environment.
• Work collaboratively with subject matter experts to understand operational and technical contexts and incorporate them appropriately into language instruction.
• Support the establishment of learning objectives, progression standards, and assessment methods for new programs.

• Deliver engaging, learner-centred English-language instruction to adult learners in an in-person classroom environment.
• Adapt teaching approaches and materials to accommodate learners at varying stages of English-language proficiency.
• Support the development of speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills relevant to academic, technical, and professional environments.
• Assess learner progress and provide constructive, individualized feedback.
• Identify areas where learners may require additional language support and adjust instruction accordingly.
• Foster a respectful, inclusive, and supportive adult-learning environment.

• Monitor learner outcomes and evaluate the effectiveness of instructional approaches and course materials.
• Review and refine curricula based on learner performance, instructor observations, program outcomes, and stakeholder feedback.
• Research emerging ESL methodologies, resources, and instructional practices.
• Recommend improvements to course content, assessments, instructional materials, and program delivery.
• Maintain appropriate course, learner, and program documentation.

The successful candidate will ideally possess:

• An advanced TESOL, OCELT, or comparable recognized qualification in teaching English as a second/additional language.
• Education or demonstrated experience in curriculum design, course development, or instructional design.
• Several years of experience teaching English to adult learners.
• Experience assessing and supporting learners across varying levels of English-language proficiency.
• Strong research skills and demonstrated ability to identify, evaluate, and adapt appropriate instructional resources.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Excellent organizational and planning abilities.
• Confidence working independently while collaborating with instructors, technical subject matter experts, and other professionals.
