Saint Joseph’s University’s Department of Modern and Classical Languages is seeking an ESL instructor to teach a semester-long academic English class for matriculated international students, beginning Fall 2019 with the option of continuation into Spring 2020 and beyond.  Must have a Master’s degree.  (Note: this course is for already matriculated international students who will be taking other non-ESL university courses in a number of different academic disciplines concurrently.)

The main goal of the course is to prepare students to succeed in an English-medium academic environment.  While part of the course content should focus on academic writing, it should also develop students’ academic skills holistically and may include such topics as reading strategies, note-taking, presentations and public speaking.  The instructor is welcome to collaborate with ESL faculty in the Department and utilize portions of pre-existing curricula as desired, and/or implement their own curricula, pending approval by the Department.  Ideal candidates will have earned at least a Master’s degree in TESOL or a related field and have experience teaching academic ESL to young adults in a university or pre-university context.

Interested applicants should apply online by clicking on the link below.  You will need to create an account on the SJU Human Resources job application site:  https://jobs.sju.edu/user/new.  On the search job site, select Adjunct, Modern and Classical Languages.
