Ref. No. 18157
Fixed term contract begins asap, ends 31.12.2016, 0.5 FTE.
Salary according to EG 13 TV-H
The Institute of English and American Studies at the University of Kassel 
offers BA, MA and teacher-training degree courses to over 1000 students.

We are currently looking to reinforce our language teaching staff with 
someone who will focus primarily on teaching pre-sessional and introductory 
language courses (level of language competence upper-intermediate, B2/C1) 
with a current teaching load of 7 hours per week. You will be involved with all 
aspects of setting and marking written and oral exams at this level and will be 
expected to contribute overall towards the improvement of our English 
language programme.

You will also be expected to take on responsibility for informing prospective 
students of our language requirements, helping them to assess realistically 
whether they meet these, setting up a cooperation with international language 
testing organisations and developing and coordinating practice materials.
A further focus will be on counselling students who show weaknesses in 
specific language areas in their early semesters and on  developing and 
organising a suitable remedial programme.

Candidates must be native speakers of English with an MA, PGCE or 
equivalent in a relevant field. Teaching experience is essential; EAP 
experience in a university context is highly desirable. A good knowledge of 
spoken and written German is particularly important for this post.

Informal inquiries should be addressed to Professor Holden Härtl, using the 
contact information below.

Applications quoting Ref. No. 18157 should be sent to The President, 
University of Kassel, 34109 Kassel, or to bewerbungen at uni-kassel.de.

committed to increasing the number of women in teaching and research 
positions.

such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 
501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These 
donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax
return (U.S. tax payers only). For more information visit the IRS Web-Site,
or contact your financial advisor.

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match 
any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your 
contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the 
EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a
simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to
LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if
your company operates such a program.
