    Lecturer Position for TESL English Phonetics/Phonology Course

    The Center for Graduate and Continuing Education at Mary Washington College is soliciting applications to teach one course of Applied Phonetics/Phonology for its new graduate-level TESL Certificate Program. The course will meet once per week in the Fall Semester of 1998. The time has not been scheduled but it will be during the evening (or possibly during the day on the weekend), starting in the fall (date flexible). The course will be offered, pending sufficient enrollment. Since this is a new program, opportunities exist to teach other courses in the future.

    Prospective candidates should have at least a master's degree in Linguistics, TESL, or related field; ABD or Ph.D. preferred. Successful candidates should have not only the prerequisite background knowledge, but will also have the capability to connect English phonetics and phonology with applications to the ESL classroom. Some ESL or EFL experience is a plus.

    Interested candidates should send (1) a cover letter; (2) a CV; (3) some documentation of relevant teaching experience (such as student evaluations of teaching). These materials should be received by August 7, 1998 at the address listed below.

    Mary Washington College is located in Fredericksburg, Virginia, about an hour's drive south of Washington, off exit 130A of I-95.
