Description

We are seeking to appoint a Language Teaching Assistant in Italian to work 17.5 hours per week from 15 September 2012 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The Department of Italian is an integral part of a dynamic and forward-looking School of Modern Languages within the Faculty of Arts. The Department consistently recruits large numbers of well-motivated undergraduates to courses which, in addition to Italian language, currently encompass literature, cultural studies, film and visual culture.

Students may enter ab-initio or with Italian A-level or equivalent, and may study Italian either as single honours, or as joint honours in combination with another language or one of several non-linguistic subjects. Italian language is also taught to postgraduates - non-specialists as well as specialists in Modern Languages and Translation - and to a substantial number of non-degree students from all Faculties of the University.

You will be expected to contribute flexibly to teaching programmes in Italian, planning and assessing your own teaching sessions within a framework provided under the overall direction of the Language Director in Italian.

You will have native or near native competence in Italian and English, and a keen interest in MFL pedagogy. You are likely to have both a relevant postgraduate qualification and previous experience of language teaching in the HE sector.

It is anticipated that interviews will be held week commencing 10 September 2012.
