Course Tutor in English for Academic Purposes( Fixed term) (181151)

Join a unique British University in China.  The University of Nottingham Ningbo China (UNNC) was the first Sino-foreign university to open its doors in China. This award winning campus offering a UK style education has grown to establish a student body of over 8,000 in just 16 years. We are looking for multiple qualified and commited Course Tutors in English for Academic Purposes (EAP) with the expansion of Centre for English Language Education.

Centre for English Language Education (CELE)

Since the development of the Nottingham-Ningbo campus in 2004, the Centre for English Language Education (CELE) has aimed to promote high quality EAP teaching in its structure and support of academic programmes delivered in China. With over 110 academic staff, the CELE operation at UNNC is now one of the largest of its kind in the world and is currently supporting all UNNC students on its Preliminary Year, Pre-Sessional and Academic Literacy Development Centre programmes.

Applications are therefore invited from suitably qualified English language teaching professionals able to offer experience and expertise in one or more of the following key fields:

·         EAP/ESP teaching including online teaching and support through Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs)

·         EAP/ESP syllabus and curriculum design

·         EAP/ESP assessment

·         Teacher training (experience in the delivery of internationally recognized qualifications such as CELTA, DELTA and their equivalents preferred)

Successful applicants must have a Masters degree in TESOL/Applied Linguistics (or similar) and be native English speakers (or with equivalent competence). They will primarily join the team responsible for delivering a portfolio of intensive EAP classes and continuing support to students both in the classroom and through online teaching. However, dependent on individual tutors’ aptitude and experience, there is also scope for their involvement in specific projects around teacher training, and the design and delivery of bespoke training packages in various aspects of ESP. 

Salary will be within the range of RMB 372,162 – RMB 444,382 per annum (pro rata for fractional post), depending on skills and experience, salary progression beyond this scale is subject to performance. In addition, an attractive package including accommodation allowance, travel allowance and insurance will be provided for international appointments.

The posts will initially be offered on a fixed term contract for a period of 3 years starting September 2020. This contract may be extended on an indefinite basis by mutual agreement. All posts will be based in Ningbo and contracts will be with the University of Nottingham Ningbo China.
