FS FAQs > Working Conditions (in-house) > What resources are available for teachers?
We have an extensive library (over 700 volumes!) of reference texts, text books, and supplementary materials, plus computers, copy machines, cassette recorders, VCRs (NTSC, not PAL), and most everything teachers needed for a successful teaching/learning experience, even crayons and glue. (Ask around, some other organizations provide nothing in the way of support or materials, and teachers are left on their own to perform miracles.)
The Four Seasons' library includes The Headway Series, Online, Fluency Squares, Person to Person, English Firsthand, Listen For It, ESL Operations, The Nonstop Discussion Workbook, The Mind's Eye, and Atlas. Commercially prepared course books such as, One to One, The Headway Course and Basics In Business are used for the elementary and intermediate levels of both our General English and English In Business programs.
For children's classes, we have adopted Gogo Loves English or Let's Study Phonics for first through third graders, and the Oxford University Press Let's Go series for fourth through sixth and (the first two terms of) seventh graders. Most junior high school classes use English Firsthand Access and Success, while high school classes use Passport, Talk a Lot (three levels) and Marathon Mouth.
Teachers are also encouraged to supplement texts with materials they develop themselves. In addition, teachers are expected to add to and update course files of supplementary materials.
