Subject: Zayed University Jobs: Arabic Language Center

Zayed University, United Arab Emirates
Instructors, Arabic Language Center

Zayed University:
Zayed University is a new National university of the United Arab
Emirates.  Currently operating on campuses in the cities of Abu Dhabi
and Dubai, Zayed University enjoys the full support of the United
Arab Emirates government as it builds itself to top international
standards.  The University was founded in September 1998 upon the
admission of the first freshman class of 1,100 nonresidential women
students.  The mandate is to prepare Nationals, women and men alike,
for leadership roles in the future economic growth of the country.
English is the primary medium of instruction and administration and
Arabic plays a critical role.

The two founding campuses of Zayed University eventually will
comprise a student body of about 5,000 undergraduate students
studying in six colleges (the Colleges of Arts and Sciences, Business
Sciences, Communication and Media Sciences, Education, Family
Sciences and Information Systems).  The University will offer an
active program of research and public service and graduate programs
are planned.  Information technology supports all aspects of the
instructional program; all students own a laptop computer and campus
facilities are fully networked.  Physical facilities are generally
sufficient to meet current needs.  New campuses to be designed and
constructed within the next several years are planned for both
locations.

The University invites applications for Instructors of Arabic in the
Arabic Language Center.  Located administratively in the College of
Arts and Sciences, the Center will provide academic services for the
students of all Colleges of the University.  The purposes of the
Center are:

1.  To serve as a major student and faculty support facility,
providing instruction and advice to students for
improvement of their written and oral Arabic language skills;
2.  To monitor the systematic development of students' Arabic
language competency in all aspects of their University studies in
order to insure that University standards for use 	of the Arabic
language are met by individual students at entry, intermediate and
graduation levels; and
3.  To develop and offer a program in Arabic for non-native speakers.

Qualifications:
Successful candidates will have:
1. a Master's degree in Arabic;
2. Arabic language teaching experience; and
3. a creative and flexible personality with the ability to work well
as a member of a team.
Preference will be given to candidates who are native speakers of
Arabic with an excellent command of English.

Applications must include:
1.  a letter of application addressing relevant experience and qualifications;
2.  a current curriculum vitae; and
3.  the names, addresses and telephone/FAX numbers of three references.

The Benefits:
Salary and benefits are competitive by international standards.
Living conditions in the United Arab Emirates are superb.  Initial
contracts are for three years and are renewable.  These positions are
available in January 2002 and August 2002.  Applications will be
accepted until all positions are filled.

All inquiries will be held in strict confidence; references will not
be contacted without the candidate's permission.

Candidates should submit inquiries and applications by mail, e-mail, or Fax to:
