ASSISTANT PROFESSOR in TEFL/SLA, Beginning Fall 1998.  The Linguistics
Program at the University of South Carolina seeks a tenure-track assistant
professor with a primary or secondary specialization in second language

such as first language acquisition, sociolinguistics, discourse analysis/
pragmatics, syntax or morphology.  Candidates must have a strong background

Experience in training TEFL teachers is valuable.  The appointment will be

The interdepartmental Linguistics Program is composed of 12 core faculty
members with appointments in 7 different departments and 17 consulting
faculty.  The program offers the Ph.D. and M.A. in Linguistics and a TEFL
Certificate.  Approximately half of our 55 graduate students choose SLA/TEFL
as their special field.  Screening of applicants will begin December 1, to
continue until the position is filled.  Interviews will be conducted at the
LSA meeting in January.

Applicants should send the following to Carol Myers-Scotton, Director,
Linguistics Program, University of South Carolina, Columbia SC  29208:
vitae, transcripts, one representative publication, the names of three
