Subject:Possible DOD Arabic teaching job

A member of the National Guard has contacted me to ask if there is
anyone who might be interested in teaching Arabic for a year in Ogden,
Utah.  Fusha and Iraqi dialect if possible.  This person would need to
be able to get a Secret Interim Clearance. Here are the details he sent:

1.  Naval Security Group Command is investigating the possibility of
conducting a proof of concept course of instruction at Joint Language
Training Center, Ogden, UT. This course of instruction will be in Modern
Standard Arabic (MSA) for nine students. One section of four students
will undergo nine months of intensive language acquisition training
for seven, 50 minute classroom hours per day and the other section will
undergo 12 months of intensive language acquisition training for seven,
50 minute classroom hours per day.

(A) Prospective instructors for these courses of instruction would be:

     (1) native speakers of Arabic (prefer Iraqi) and able to instruct
in Modern Standard Arabic?
     (2) willing to locate/relocate to the Ogden, UT vicinity at their
own expense?
     (3) able to commence teaching in the March/April 2003 timeframe?
     (4) possess at least a Masters Degree and have at least five years
of teaching experience in the target language?
     (5) thoroughly familiar with ILR standards and be able to teach to
at least the L2+/R2+/S2+ level.
     (6) able to achieve a level 2 on an English proficiency interview
such as those conducted by DLI?
     (7) pass a National Agency Check, at no cost to the government,
with favorable results?

I believe the question marks indicate that some of these requirements
are negotiable.  If you are interested, contact me at dil at byu.edu and I
will pass on your e-mail address to the guard.
