Job Description
SPEECH AND DEBATE COACH
THE DEBATE PROGRAM
Research. Evidence. Structure. These are the cornerstones of the debate program. In debate, we teach students contentions, claims, support, and impact, as well as help them with flow, rebuttal and framework. Not only is it about debate but the skills needed to conduct research, construct an argument, make solid definitions and work with a partner.
The Dipont Debate program guides students from the basics of debate through to topic analysis and on to advanced strategies and principles for tournament-level debaters. Students learn how to research topics and craft effective arguments on a variety of current event topics. Dipont organizes tournaments across China so that our students have opportunities to compete both locally and nationally.
This full-time position typically requires a commitment from 9:00am to 6:00pm, Wednesday through Sunday, ensuring comprehensive coverage for our students' needs. Coaches are tasked with a blend of classroom instruction and lesson preparation, and to work with classes ranging in size from 3 to 20, depending on the location and class. All instructors teach a combination of speech and debate of all levels, culminating in the exciting annual tournament, fostering an environment of growth and learning.
CURRICULUM
Dipont Education has its own curriculum designed by speech and debate professionals with decades of experience. Speech and Debate classes also prepare students for competition in formats such as Public Forum Debate, Original Oratory, British Parliamentary, World Schools, Model United Nations, Extemporaneous Speaking, as well as others. Teachers are also given the autonomy to adapt the curriculum to their strengths as a teacher and the needs of a student. We are not a center that expects teachers to just teach straight out of a book!
OUR TEAM
Employees at Dipont Education are a diverse combination of local Chinese staff and educators from around the world. If you’ve ever wanted to work in a thoroughly international environment, this is your opportunity. Chinese is an asset, but not a requirement, as all work with students is conducted entirely in English, and our multilingual support staff can aid communication when needed. Instructors come from around the world, and we are all passionate about travel, education, and success.
QUALIFICATIONS
Bachelor’s degree in any discipline (with graduation date at least two years ago to meet visa regulations)
Debate coaching experience
Teaching experience strongly preferred
The ability to live and work in China for two years
