The instructor will be responsible for one intensive second-year level Arabic language course. Classes for this intensive language course will meet three times per week (twice a week for 3 hours; once a week for 2 hours). The course must include instruction in the four basic skills - reading, writing, listening and speaking - using the communicative approach to language teaching. Formal evaluation of all four skills is mandatory through oral and written tests and examinations. The class should be taught mainly in Arabic. The salary is $12,662 for the course. Qualifications include native or near-native competency in Arabic and previous experience teaching Arabic at the high school, college or university level, or experience related to the formal analysis of Arabic such as linguistic research or translation. Although this is a one-course contract position, there may be possibilities for more courses, including in the Linguistics program, in the 2012/13 academic year, for a candidate with a strong background in both Arabic and Linguistics. All qualified candidates are encouraged to apply, but in accordance with Canadian immigration requirements, applications from Canadians and permanent residents will be given priority. Carleton University is strongly committed to fostering diversity within its community as a source of excellence, cultural enrichment and social strength. We welcome those who would contribute to the further diversification of our faculty and its scholarship, including but not limited to women, visible minorities, Aboriginal peoples, persons with disabilities, and persons of any sexual orientation or gender identity.
