The Slavic, East European, and Near Eastern Summer Language Institute (SLI) seeks instructors of Czech for the summer of 2023. Instructors will teach a 6-week intensive course during SLI’s summer session, which runs from June 5-July 14. 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. Instructors may be asked to team teach. SLI 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 a related field and experience teaching in a college or university setting using the communicative approach or other proficiency-based methods. Further information and application materials are available here.
