Kalinago English is looking for  authors...

Self-published authors who have their own websites offering materials and are interested in doing an "exchange links" with Kalinago English. 

Free of charge, however Kalinago English would review your site and would need to see sample materials in order to determine whether or not to list it.

Teachers who don't have a website or a place to display their FANTASTIC materials but would like to try selling/offering all their hard work to other teachers for free or at a reasonable cost!  

Your materials would go into the Teachers4Teachers section of the Marketplace.

This is a great option for teachers who are thinking about creating a website but aren't sure whether or not it would be worth the investment (financially and time wise) or those attempting to sell their work via traditional publishing methods and would like proof that there is a market for their materials.

Kalinago English would receive 10 - 20% of your cost price (if you have one) and this amount depends on how much work is required in inputting your materials into the online shop and any maintain our editing.

We would discuss and agree on what that involves before making the decision to proceed. 

Requirements

* qualified teacher (CELTA, TESOL etc, recognized qualifications necessary) with minimum 4 years experience.

 

* if non-native, proof of qualifications required regarding your level of English and a minimum of three years living in an English-speaking country. 

 

* qualifications or experience in the specific field of interest you wish to write the ESP/Special Interest version of.

 

* proof of writing materials ability (even if you have not been published before).

 

* have learnt (are learning) a second language within the last 5 years.

 

* have lived (are living) in a country where English is not spoken as a native language. 

 

* used a minimum of 5 SimplyConversations^TM units and you can comfortably claim to understand the system and style.  Read and understood the system explained.

 

* knowledge and familiarity with the Common European Framework of Reference. 

 

Once you have been accepted as a potential SimplyC author, you will receive a detailed question style guide and would be required to write approx. 20 questions for the conversation prompts and another 15 research/Quest based questions. 

(It's very easy to write the same questions twice).

We would also discuss how and when you would be paid then (you will receive 30% of the cost price in the English version, 15% of the translated versions) as well as review the editing and testing requirements you would need to fulfil before we load up your material.

Looking forward to hearing from you and working together!
