Kadix Systems

Position Available: Arabic Language Expert

Project Overview
Kadix Systems is currently developing a five-week Arabic  
survival-training course targeted to the needs of government employees.  
  The curriculum, which will be taught in a classroom, will span five  
days of training a week for a period of five weeks and will include six  
50-minute lessons for each day of training.  Each lesson will be  
complete with training goals, activities and specific materials.  The  
language of the program will be Modern Standard Arabic but will include  
a dialect flavor.  Students will also be introduced to elements of  
Arabic culture.  The program is aimed at the development of overall  
oral proficiency skills, including, but not limited to, basic  
interactive skills, such as using appropriate greetings and courtesy  
phrases, describing and narrating and asking questions to elicit  
personal and biographic information.  In addition, students will also  
be able to recognize danger situations and respond in a suitable  
manner.  Training materials, including instructor and participant  
guides, will also be designed and given to the appropriate personnel.   
There is also a parallel multimedia package that is currently under  
development.  This package will contain the same material and  
objectives but will be used by students when they are away from the  
classroom.

Job Description:
We would like to hire a native speaker of English who has had  
experience in teaching Arabic to nonnatives to assist us in this  
project.  The ideal candidate will at least have a Master’s degree in  
Arabic from an accredited institution.  Curriculum development  
experience is a definite plus.  In addition, the candidate must be  
fluent in at least one Arabic dialect.

This is a full-time position, and salary is based on experience.
