Description:

enn State Abington, Division of Arts and Humanities, seeks a committed and
energetic scholar-administrator to lead initiatives for our multilingual
student population, including Academic Integration Courses(AIC) and the
Applied Linguistics programs(TESOL minor and ESL Specialist Certificate). As
the most ethnically and linguistically diverse campus of Penn State, Abington
College has developed a full range of curricular and co-curricular programs to
serve its fast-growing population of multilingual students. The successful
candidate for this position will: direct the AIC program; coordinate with
AIC's teaching and administrative partners; manage placement of new students;
support and mentor faculty, and teach one course per semester. We seek a
colleague with experience teaching college composition for English language
learners; collaborating with faculty on related pedagogical issues; and the
ability to teach courses in theory, methodology, and praxis in second language
acquisition. Our successful candidate will pursue a research agenda related to
teaching and learning of languages in academic contexts, administration of
academic programs, or language policy in education. The Division of Arts and
Humanities values and cultivates a friendly, professional, and healthy
atmosphere for its faculty and students. Abington is a baccalaureate-degree
granting college of Penn State University. We offer the advantages of
small-college life paired to the resources of a Big Ten university, just ten
miles from downtown Philadelphia. About half of our 4,000 students enroll in
BA and BS programs at Abington, while the rest finish their degrees at Penn
State's University Park campus. The College strongly supports
first-generation, minority, and multilingual students who make up more than
half of the student body. We seek candidates with a Master's degree in TESOL
or equivalent, and prefer the Ph.D. in Applied Linguistics or a cognate area.
We particularly value professionals with both experience and fresh ideas in
the area of multi-language learning. This is a non-tenure line position with a
48-week. This is a fixed-term appointment funded for one year from date of
hire with excellent possibility of re-funding. Please apply with a cover
letter and Curriculum Vitae. In addition, please upload three letters of
reference with contact information.
