The EL Fellow will work at the Department of English Language Teaching with no more than four preps per semester (4 different courses) to total no more than 20 contact hours per week for the duration of the 10-month grant. In the Department of English Language Teaching, the EL Fellow will teach classes such as: methodology, linguistics, speaking and other. Additional responsibilities might include facilitating teacher training seminars for in-service teachers in the School of Foreign Languages at Dokuz Eylul or at the Department of American Studies as appropriate.
Project Objectives
There has not been an EL Fellow placed in Izmir in at least 10 years. Having an EL Fellow at the Department of English Language Teaching at Dokuz Eylul would provide a good base from which to reach out not only to other departments at Dokuz Eylul, but also to other universities in Izmir, one of which houses a successful American Corner.
