Position description

The Berkeley Language Center (BLC) at the University of California,
Berkeley seeks applications for an Academic Coordinator II in the area of
applied linguistics to serve as the Executive Director.

The BLC provides intellectual, pedagogical, and technological support for
the teaching of languages on the Berkeley campus, in the Bay Area, and
beyond. A complete list of current BLC services, facilities, personnel, and
budget information is available here.

The ED plays a crucial role by managing the day-to-day operations of the
BLC and coordinating the efforts of BLC staff members. The ED regularly
consults with language instructors to provide pedagogically sound and
intellectually principled advice on teaching and curriculum development,
including the integration of technology in the practice and research of
language study. The ED participates in Excellence Reviews for language
lecturers. These activities require knowledge of language pedagogy, second
language acquisition theory, applied linguistics, sociolinguistics, and
keeping abreast of new developments in instructional technology. The ED
participates in campus-wide discussions on the epistemological, ethical,
and social implications of developments in language teaching and the use of
technology in language study. The ED is expected to develop original
approaches and solutions to the highly complex issues related to the rapid
advances in the field of technology-assisted language learning. The ED
reports to a Faculty Director.
