*_Language Program Director_*

The Applied Linguistics & TESOL Programs at Teachers College, Columbia 
University seeks a Full-Time Language Program Director.  This position 
entails directing two related programs: the Community Language Program 
(CLP) and the TESOL Certificate Program (TCP). The CLP provides English 
and foreign language instruction to adult learners and is an onsite 
language lab for students and faculty in TESOL and Applied Linguistics. 
The TCP offers a Summer full-time intensive program as well as a 
part-time Fall-Spring program.

*Responsibilities: *

The Director is responsible for providing academic leadership for both 
the CLP & TCP academic programs in conjunction with the Applied 
Linguistics and TESOL Program faculty sponsor. The Director will thus 
oversee the implementation of the existing CLP & TCP academic programs 
including all efforts involving teacher supervision, teacher mentorship 
and professional development, curriculum development, and assessment.  
The Director will also spearhead any curricular reform, in conjunction 
with the faculty sponsor.

The Director will also be responsible for providing administrative 
leadership for the two programs, including representing the CLP/TCP at 
the program and College levels, and serving as liaison between the 
CLP/TCP and other administrative offices. The Director will also be 
responsible for overseeing the CLP/TCP budget in conjunction with the 
faculty liaison, and for hiring and supervising staff and course 
instructors including doctoral fellows, managing work schedules for CLP 
fellows, supervising CLP placement testing, preparing annual reports of 
each program, and overseeing efforts regarding student recruitment, and 
marketing. Finally, the Director will work closely with the Program 
Manager, who is responsible for overseeing the day-to-day administrative 
operations of the two programs.

The successful candidate may also be invited to teach one or more 
courses in the Applied Linguistics & TESOL MA programs (for additional 
pay) depending on qualifications.
