Subject:Job in Oman

Dear colleagues,

I will be on a sabbatical from my teaching position in Oman next  
calendar year to concentrate on my Gulf Arabic research. Hence, my  
employer needs someone to substitute for me during that year. I love  
my job and I'm very glad to recommend it to anyone with the right  
qualifications who would like to work part time in a small language  
school with highly motivated students and a wonderful staff ;).

Maria

less) of highly motivated students and all of our teachers consider

The period of employment will be for one year only, teaching our

from September 2007 to January 2009 and potentially also summer
