Description:

The English Language Centre (ELC) of the Faculty of Arts and Humanities
invites applications for Instructor position in the discipline: English
Language Teaching.

The English Language Centre (ELC) is committed to the objective of enhancing
English language proficiency of students across the University, both to
support students’ pursuit of their academic majors and to prepare them for
global citizenship. The ELC seeks to achieve its goals through the provision
of courses in general and academic English and extra-curricular language
activities. The ELC also organizes summer programmes for pre-sessional
students and others, in collaboration with the Residential Colleges. 

Qualifications:

Applicants must possess at minimum an MA in TESOL/TEFL/Applied Linguistics or
equivalent with at least 2 years of combined teaching experience at the
tertiary level (preferably teaching student populations similar to those
enrolled at the University of Macau). It is expected that candidates will have
demonstrated experience in (1) curriculum and materials development in
teaching English for academic purposes (academic writing, speaking, learning
skills/strategies), and (2) in technology-enhanced language learning,
particularly in developing e-learning activities. Knowledge and experience in
developing assessment instruments and processing and interpreting assessment
data is highly desirable. Experience in organizing summer English programmes
for incoming undergraduates and high school students will be a plus.  

Candidates should also possess excellent teamwork and communication skills,
and the ability to work well with a multicultural staff. Applicants should be
willing to teach some weekday evenings or weekends and summer programmes, and
be available for any assigned duties, participate in and contribute to ELC
activities, and provide professional service to the University and the
community. Academic publication experience is not necessary, but a specific
research interest/agenda is expected. Appointed instructor is expected to
teach in the summer programmes during student summer recess period.  

Selected candidates are expected to assume duty in January 2018.

Position and Remuneration:

Remuneration and appointment rank offered will be competitive and commensurate
with the successful applicants’ academic qualifications, current positions and
professional experience. The current local maximum income tax rate is 12% but
is effectively around 5% - 7% after various discretionary exemptions. 

Application Procedure:

Applicants should visit http://www.umac.mo/career for more details, and apply
ONLINE through the link below (Ref. No.: FAH/ELC/07/2017). When applying,
please upload a cover letter, a current CV (with English translations wherever
