Academic Appointment

Language Specialist

The SEAMEO Regional Language Centre is looking for PhD graduates in
the field of Applied Linguistics.

We seek an individual to teach serving teachers from the region on
professional and some graduate courses and to participate in research,
publication, and other scholarly activities. We are particularly
interested in those specializing in Second Language Acquisition and
Materials Development.

The candidate should have at least two years of experience teaching a
second or foreign language at school or university level and at least
two years in teacher training. It would be an advantage if some of
this experience was in Southeast Asia. Experience at the primary
school level would also be particularly useful. Citizenship of a
country of Southeast Asia would be an advantage where all else was
equal.

The SEAMEO Regional Language Centre, which was set up in 1968, is one
of fourteen educational centres under the Southeast Asian Ministers of
Education Organization. Its mission is to assist SEAMEO member
countries in the area of language education. To achieve its purpose,
the Centre conducts advanced training courses and undertakes research,
publications and information dissemination related to the linguistic
needs and problems of Southeast Asia. Appointment is targeted for
early in the second half of 2004.
