Teaching English Conversation at Sun Moon University
Dear Damian,
Once again, I am asking your assistance to get the news out.
The Foreign Language Institute at Sun Moon University will be
hiring three more native-speaker English conversation lecturers for the
fall semester. Information about the jobs and application forms will
be available on the university's web page probably from late Monday,
April 21, 2003. The English information will probably be at the bottom
of the pop-up that appears on the web page.
The minimum requirement for the lecturers is a Bachelor's degree
in any field. The hoped for, ideal qualification would be a Master's
degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages) .
PhDs would of course be welcome, but the position is a teaching position,
not a research position, and it is not on a tenure track.
Salaries start at 22,000,000 (won) a year paid in 12
installments. People with extensive experience or advanced degrees qualify
for a higher rate. Housing is provided: a dorm room for single people,
or a small one-room apartment for married people. A shared office is
provided with a private desk, computer and phone, and a shared bookshelf
and conference table. Korean National Medical Insurance and entrance
into the Korean Social Security system are provided. The university pays
half of the insurance fee, and the individual the other half. There will
be at least one month paid vacation a year.
If needed, lecturers are expected to teach classes, special camps
and training sessions held during the university vacation periods. Extra
pay is given for that work.
During the semesters, most lecturers are teaching several classes of
the same course. The textbooks and desired teaching methods have been
decided and orientation is provided. Accordingly, there is not so much
work in terms of class creation, but preparation is required.
Because of that, if the opportunity presents itself through the
university, teaching more hours during the semesters is also feasible
in order to supplement one's income. Requests for teaching sometimes
come from local industries and businesses.
Visas require the original of one's university diploma. The university
requires one's university transcript/s.
Only native speakers should apply.

Sincerely, ITN,
Lynne Kim
