We have small classes (up to 12, usually around 6-7 or less) of highly motivated students and all of our teachers consider the teaching atmosphere to be a very positive one. From February 2008, we will need a Modern Standard Arabic teacher who is able to both teach all levels of the Al-Kitaab Series published by Georgetown University Press and oversee and train a native Arabic speaker in the teaching of MSA. He/She will need to be able to teach in the medium of the Arabic language using modern interactive teaching methods. The period of employment will be for one year only, teaching our spring semester from February 2008 to June 2008; our autumn semester from September 2007 to January 2009 and potentially also summer courses in July.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;">For more information on this position, our institute, our courses and the area, please feel free to both visit our website at <A href="http://www.gapschool.net">www.gapschool.net</A> and contact us directly.</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P></TD></TR><TR><TD valign="top" style="width: 242.0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0.0px 1.0px 1.0px 1.0px; border-color: transparent #000000 #000000 #000000; padding: 0.0px 7.0px 0.0px 7.0px"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><B>Job Title:</B></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P></TD><TD valign="top" style="width: 325.0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0.0px 1.0px 1.0px 0.0px; border-color: transparent #000000 #000000 transparent; padding: 0.0px 7.0px 0.0px 7.0px"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;">Teacher of Modern Standard Arabic</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P></TD></TR><TR><TD valign="top" style="width: 242.0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0.0px 1.0px 1.0px 1.0px; border-color: transparent #000000 #000000 #000000; padding: 0.0px 7.0px 0.0px 7.0px"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><B>Location (can be general):</B></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P></TD><TD valign="top" style="width: 325.0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0.0px 1.0px 1.0px 0.0px; border-color: transparent #000000 #000000 transparent; padding: 0.0px 7.0px 0.0px 7.0px"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;">Buraimi, Oman (Twin city of Al Ain, United Arab Emirates)</SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P></TD></TR><TR><TD valign="top" style="width: 242.0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0.0px 1.0px 1.0px 1.0px; border-color: transparent #000000 #000000 #000000; padding: 0.0px 7.0px 0.0px 7.0px"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;"><B>Hours of Work:</B></SPAN></FONT></SPAN></P></TD><TD valign="top" style="width: 325.0px; border-style: solid; border-width: 0.0px 1.0px 1.0px 0.0px; border-color: transparent #000000 #000000 transparent; padding: 0.0px 7.0px 0.0px 7.0px"><P style="margin: 0.0px 0.0px 8.0px 0.0px"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: collapse;"><FONT class="Apple-style-span" size="2"><SPAN class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 10px;">8a.m. – 11:00 a.m. weekdays (Sunday to Thursday).
