Description:

About the Job:
WKU launched the graduate program in Instruction and Curriculum (TESOL
Concentration) in Fall 2020 with an initial cohort of 12 students. We
are now in the fifth cohort with 46 students. Our student body
includes both pre-service as well as experienced K-12 teachers from
all over China. We anticipate a steady programmatic expansion in the
future that will bring in additional students as well as faculty
members.

WKU is seeking two to three candidates to teach a full range of MA
TESOL graduate courses. Our faculty teaches graduate-level courses in
general linguistics, TESOL methods, and language assessment, and
engages in research with students, as well as in a variety of other
program-specific projects.

The successful candidate will have a clear record of expertise in
Teaching English as a Second Language (TESL) and the demonstrated
ability to prepare MA TESOL students to teach in both ESL and EFL
contexts. Candidates with EFL teaching at the K-12 level and
teacher-training experience will be prioritized for this position.
Candidates must have an ongoing agenda for engaging students in
research and are expected to publish research outcomes in
well-recognized and impactful journals. Candidates are expected to
advise graduate students to develop research projects and produce
publishable research outcomes. In addition to teaching and research,
candidates are expected to contribute to the growth of the program,
including but not limited to, curriculum development, program
assessment, student recruitment and advising, faculty hiring, program
promotion, and internship opportunities.

This full-time faculty position will start in Fall 2025. This position
will be offered at the Lecturer level or the rank of Tenure-Track
Assistant or Associate Professor. All positions will have an initial
3-year contract that is renewable. Lecturer positions are 11-month
appointments and typically teach 39 credits per academic year. The
Tenure-track Assistant or Associate Professor positions are 10-month
appointments requiring research and publications in internationally
recognized and vigorously peer-reviewed journals. Tenure-track faculty
members typically carry a 24-credit-hour load per academic year. Six
(6) credits course release per academic year is available in the first
3 years of appointment. After the initial 3 years, course release may
be available to faculty for national-level grant proposal development
or other substantial research initiatives. The candidate will be
expected to participate in the full range of faculty responsibilities,
including high-quality teaching, research, advising, student learning
support, and service to the university and/or professional community.

Application Instructions
Applicants are REQUIRED to apply online. To receive full consideration
by the search committee, candidates need to submit the following
documents via Interfolio (https://apply.interfolio.com/157063).

Review of applications will begin immediately and continue until
positions are filled. Please submit a cover letter, resume, statement
of teaching philosophy, a research statement describing research
interest, past accomplishments in research and research plan (for
tenure track positions only), unofficial transcripts, recent teaching
evaluations, and contact information of three professional references.

recommendation are required before the appointment.
