CFA: Bulgarian Instructor, University of Pittsburgh Summer Language Institute

Deadline: ASAP

The Slavic, East European, and Near Eastern Summer Language Institute (SLI) at the Department of Slavic Languages and Literatures seeks an instructor of Bulgarian for the summer of 2022.  Instructors will teach a 6-week intensive course during SLI’s summer session, which runs from June 6-July 15. Classes meet five days a week from 9 am-2:50 pm. In addition to classroom teaching, instructors are expected to help plan cultural programming for their language program and attend events for the whole institute, such as film and lecture series, workshops, and picnics. SLI expects that our programs will be conducted in an in-person format on the main campus of the University of Pittsburgh, though sections may be converted to the online, synchronous format via Zoom if warranted by health conditions or strong student interest in remote attendance.  

  

Applicants must have a master’s degree in the language they will teach or related field and experience teaching in a college or university setting using the communicative approach or other proficiency-based methods. 

  

Applicants should submit a CV and, if available, representative student evaluations. Finalists will be asked to provide references at a later stage in the search.  Please see the link below for the job posting, share amount interested parties, and direct inquiries to at manukyan1@pitt.edu.
