    Description:

    THE AMERICAN UNIVERSITY IN CAIRO

    English Language Institute: MA in TEFL Program

    Two openings (one definite, one possible) to cover two or more of the following required areas in the M.A. in TEFL Program: Second Language Acquisition, Structure of English/Pedagogical Grammar, Second Language Assessment (including an occasional advanced course), and a two-semester sequence in Research Methods in TEFL/Applied Linguistics. The successful applicant will teach additional TEFL courses according to experience. Teaching experience, especially in a TEFL or Applied Linguistics program, is strongly preferred.

    These positions primarily involve teaching and related activities in the MA program, and supervising MA theses, along with service obligations at the departmental, school, and campus-wide levels. Depending on need, the position may include teaching undergraduate introductory Linguistics. There is a possible option of teaching of an elective course during summer. Rank open; Ph.D. in hand is required at the time of application. Candidates are asked to include a description of their research agenda in the letter of application.

    Founded in 1919, AUC's campus is located in Cairo, Egypt, and its degree programs are accredited by the Commission on Higher Education of the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools. For more information see our website at http://www.aucegypt.edu. The normal teaching load is three courses per semester and English is the language of instruction. Salary and rank are according to scale based on qualifications and professional experience. Renewal of an appointment depends upon institutional needs and/or the appointee's performance. For expatriates, housing, annual round-trip air travel for appointee and accompanying family, plus schooling for up to two children are included. In view of AUC's protocol agreement with the Egyptian Government, which requires specific proportions of Egyptian, U.S., and third-country citizen faculty, at this time preference will be given to qualified applicants who are U.S. citizens.
