Senior instructors and graduate teaching assistants are needed for Beloit College’s summer intensive language programs in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian (June 9 - August 6, 2010).  Each language class, with enrollments of ten students, has one instructor and one graduate teaching assistant.  Instructors collaborate with each other, the language coordinator, and the CLS director on curriculum, syllabi, and instruction. Duties include classroom teaching and evaluation, and assistance with organizing cultural activities for the program. Instructors will be expected to live on campus (single occupancy), share lunch and dinner with the students in the dining commons, and be available to students evenings and weekends.

Minimum qualifications for senior instructors in Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, and Russian include an M.A., teaching experience preferably in an immersion environment, native or near-native proficiency in the language taught, and advanced proficiency in English. An advanced degree in the language taught, applied linguistics, or foreign language education is desirable. For graduate teaching assistants, an M.A. in progress is required. Salary is competitive, and includes room and board. Employment is contingent upon new employees providing documents verifying U.S. citizenship or, for non-citizens, documents verifying legal permission to work in the United States.
