Dissatisfaction at the ABC Languages, department of Guipuzcoa
Recently, the dissatisfaction at the Guipuzcoan department of the ABC Languages has risen to a level that cannot be unseen anymore. This report aims to list the causes of unhappiness, to illustrate them and to suggest ways to rectify the problems.
Old material
The company workers are facing several problems, the most significant of which is the lack of modern teaching material in the office. 80 % of the teachers admit to be using study books more than 15 years old. For instance, one of our German teachers constantly has to explain to their students that the current currency of Germany is not German Mark but Euro, contrary to what the study book from the year 1998 claims.
Distances between classrooms
Another issue, according to every second teacher, is the commute between classroom locations. To give an illustration of the problematic situation I will refer to a usual work day of one of our French teachers. Her weeks are packed full with driving from town to town. During a typical day she drives more than 100 km in order to teach merely four lessons. A more balanced distribution of the locations would provide her more free time and thus increase her quality of work.
Solutions
The obvious solution to the problem with old study books is the purchase of new ones. The staff of ABC Languages are aware of the fact that this can't be done without sufficient financial means, which are rather scarce, as the company is still suffering from the economical crisis which reached the Spanish Basque Country several years ago. Nevertheless, only investing in suitable, modern study material will attract new customers to the school.
The uneven distribution of the classroom is a problem more difficult to rectify, as the vast majority of the classes have already started and the customers are not willing to change the teachers nor the location. The only solution to be found to this problem seems to be to provide some of the classes online. Many compeating companies are already using the possibility of skype classes. I think that the organisation of skype lessons should be on our agenda as well in the next academic year.

Outdated Teaching Aids.
