Addendum to ´letter to my replacement´ post last month

I discovered during our ´concelho de notas´ that our English Department Coordinator, Rafael, will be moving to Lichinga next year, and so the IFP in Cuamba will only have at most three English Teachers, at least in the beginning of the schoolyear.  It´s possible that the IFP will hire a new Mozambican English teacher during the first semester, but I think you may have more classes to teach in 2014.

Moreover, there´s also been some talk that all IFPs will switch to a two year program next year (we´re currently on a one-year program).  This could mean that all turmas, not just the one English turma, will be required to take English classes.  That´s as many as 9 turmas among three English teachers.  The six subjects of English I mentioned in my original letter would probably be collapsed into two courses of Integrated English Language Learning.  So there could be a total of 18 English classes next year.

You probably have plenty of questions.  Again, I´d be happy to clarify any thing from this letter or respond to any questions you may have.
