Description:

The Department of Asian Studies at the University of British Columbia,

terms, subject to availability of funds and demonstration of excellence in
teaching and service, in accordance with the Collective Agreement between UBC
and the UBC Faculty Association.

We seek an exceptional teacher of Cantonese language and culture with
expertise in language instruction from basic to advanced level for both
heritage and non-heritage learners. The successful candidate will teach a
total of 24 credits (eight 3-credit equivalent courses) per year, the majority
of which will be for courses on Cantonese language while the rest will be for
courses, taught in Cantonese or English, on aspects of the languages, culture,
or history of the Cantonese-speaking world that are aligned with the
candidate’s teaching interests. The successful candidate will also be expected
to assist in the administration and development of UBC’s highly regarded
Cantonese language program.

Requirements for candidates include: 
 - full professional proficiency in Cantonese and English, as well as
university-level competency in Mandarin; 
 - a Ph.D. degree in Cantonese/Chinese Linguistics, Second Language
Education/Acquisition/Pedagogy, Applied Linguistics, or a related field; 
 - evidence of excellent teaching of Cantonese and/or Mandarin at the
post-secondary level in an anglophone university; 
 - evidence of teaching innovations for both language and content courses; 
 - experience in online teaching and innovative use of technology in language
instruction; 
 - knowledge of current developments in language pedagogy and curriculum
design; 
 - experience with language-proficiency assessment and language-placement
practice; 
 - a strong record of participation in teamwork and contributions to program
development.
The successful candidate will be expected to maintain an excellent record of
teaching and service as well as to work collaboratively with other instructors
on curriculum design, development of instructional materials, and related
programming matters.

The Lecturer in Cantonese Language and Culture will join a department
(https://asia.ubc.ca/) with a stellar reputation for its teaching and research
of Asia as well as a vibrant community of teacher-scholars associated with the
UBC Cantonese Language Program (https://cantonese.arts.ubc.ca/) and the UBC
Hong Kong Studies Initiative (https://hksi.ubc.ca/).
 
This position is subject to final budgetary approval. Salary will be
commensurate with qualifications and experience.
