Part-Time Faculty - English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) Fall 2024
University of Maine at Fort Kent, Orono, Maine, us, 04473
The English for Speakers of Other Languages Department at the University of Southern Maine invites applications for part-time faculty positions for our 2024/2025 academic year beginning September 3, 2024.
We have an immediate need for an instructor to teach our Listening and Oral Communication Course (ESL 007). This course focuses on cultural awareness and US culture as well as the improvement of the listening and oral skills that are necessary for the university classroom. The primary goals of the course are to introduce students to various aspects of US culture and intercultural communication via oral discussions and listening activities. Additional goals are to assist students in achieving comprehensible pronunciation and gaining confidence in listening comprehension and speaking skills. Students will also be exposed to a wide variety of vocabulary and grammatical structures in context.
Part-time faculty members are paid on a credit hour basis based on prior college teaching experience. In addition, USM employees can use their USM Card to access the library, Cigna Employee Assistance Plan, and fitness center(s). USM also offers part-time faculty the opportunity for development frequently through our Center for Collaboration and Development (CCD) and the chance to get an online teaching certification and training through CTEL, in addition to other developmental opportunities open to all staff throughout the year.
The University of Southern Maine (USM) is committed to developing a diverse faculty, staff, and student body. It embraces an inclusive campus community that values the expression of differences in ways that promote excellence in teaching, learning, personal development, and institutional success. USM encourages women, veterans, individuals with disabilities, and people from diverse racial, ethnic, and cultural backgrounds to apply.
The University of Southern Maine (USM) is located in the intellectual, cultural, and economic heart of Maine. Over 60 languages are spoken within an hour’s drive of our three campuses in Portland, Gorham, and Lewiston. USM’s three environmentally friendly campuses are unique, yet all share the extensive resources of the university — and all are energized through strong community partnerships. Offering easy access to Boston, plus the ocean, mountains, and forests of coastal, inland, and northern Maine, USM is at the heart of Maine's most exciting metropolitan region.
