Description:

Young and research-intensive, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU
Singapore) is ranked 12th globally. It is also placed 1st among the world’s
best young universities.

The School of Humanities (SoH), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore
invites applications for Lecturer positions for a course titled “Inquiry and
Communication in an Interdisciplinary World” in the Language and Communication
Centre.

New Curriculum: 
NTU is transforming its education objectives towards more interdisciplinarity
and collaborative learning for the foundation years of its undergraduate
curriculum. A new interdisciplinary and collaborative curriculum will be
introduced in the academic year of 2021 to develop students’ cognitive
agility, competence, and character, besides their disciplinary major. This new
curriculum consists of a set of 7 core courses which will form part of the
overall degree requirement in all NTU undergraduate programmes. The courses
will be concentrated over the first two years of study comprising mixed
classes of students from different disciplinary programmes, so that they can
embrace multidisciplinary group learning as part of the overall academic
expectation from the start of their university education. Students will
collaborate in different teams for their course projects or assignments.

Content for the 7 common core courses is developed by a diverse mix of faculty
and integrated to understand issues from various perspectives. Aligned with
the learning outcomes of the desired attributes of an NTU graduate, the
courses are curated to focus on key transferable skills and the global
challenges of the modern world. The courses will adopt the flipped classroom
and collaborative learning pedagogy, with content made available prior to
classes, to facilitate collaborative discussion through group-based activities
during class time. 

About the School of Humanities: 
A dynamic hub of research excellence, the School of Humanities provides a
rigorous and holistic education to develop students into well-rounded
individuals who are able to think critically and articulate their ideas
clearly and confidently.

The Language and Communication Centre in the School of Humanities offers
communication courses to undergraduate and graduate students across the
university, particularly in the disciplines of engineering, the humanities,
sciences, and social sciences.

Requirements: 
The School of Humanities seeks to fill 3 Lecturer positions in the Language
and Communication Centre. Instructors are sought for a course titled “Inquiry
and Communication in an Interdisciplinary World,” one of the core courses in
its new Interdisciplinary Collaborative Curriculum (ICC) for all NTU
undergraduates. This foundational course will develop students’ written and
oral communication skills, as well as their ability to read and analyse texts.

Successful candidates will be expected to teach academic writing and
communication skills, and to conduct research.

Candidates with the following qualifications are encouraged to apply:
 - PhD in Applied Linguistics, English for Academic Purposes, Linguistics,
Literature, or Rhetoric and Composition
