La Jolla Country Day School, an independent (private) non-religious
affiliated N-12 school in San Diego, seeks an experienced and qualified
full-time Middle and Upper School Teacher of Arabic for the 2008-2009
academic year and beyond to implement a dynamic Arabic program with
innovative curriculum.

The position will have primary responsibility for teaching four to five
sections of Arabic (and/or French and/or History electives in Middle  
Eastern
Studies, as necessary and commensurate with the skill set of the  
candidate).
Essential duties will include: (1) comprehensive and dynamic new  
curriculum
and program development for a grade 7-12 Arabic sequence; (2) classroom
instruction; (3) conferences with students and colleagues; (4) active
participation in the work of the department with on-going and
cross-curricular development and pedagogy; (5) assuming at least one
additional duty as a faculty member (coaching a sport, advising a  
student
club, joining a standing committee, and the like); and (6) working  
closely
with the Department Chair, Deans, Division Directors, and Public  
Relations
team to actively encourage enrollment in Arabic courses and effectively
educate the community about Arabic language, Arabic culture and  
history, and
our Arabic program goals.

The ideal candidate will be a native Arabic speaker with near-native  
command
of English, and have a Bachelor's degree in Arabic Language and/or
Literature, Linguistics/SLA Pedagogy, and/or Teaching/Education. We
encourage English mother tongue candidates with near-native Arabic
abilities, so long as the candidate is experienced and has a proven  
track
record of teaching excellence in a middle school setting, high school
setting, and/or with freshman/sophomore level college students.  
Candidates
with advanced degrees in the areas outlined above, plus near-native  
French
fluency and experience teaching French are preferred. Familiarity with
computers and with the use of technology in Second Language  
Instruction is
also preferred (PC/Windows platform and Sanako(R) language lab).
