Language Fellows
The faculty of the Japanese and Chinese language programs in the Department of Asian Studies has established a program of Asian Language Teaching Fellows in Japanese and Chinese. The Asian Language Teaching Fellows acquire training and experience in language instruction while assisting faculty with supplementary language teaching exceeding the faculty members' normal teaching loads. The fellowships, which began in 1999, are funded through the James A. Linen III Asian Studies Fund.
Candidates for Asian Language Teaching Fellowships would normally be graduate students in Linguistics, East Asian Language Pedagogy, or Foreign Language Education who are preparing for careers as college-level language instructors. They should possess substantial prior training in language teaching and, ordinarily, will have at least some experience in teaching Japanese or Chinese.
Fellows teach under the close supervision of the regular faculty, who frequently observe them in class and meet with them to discuss class activities as well as the students' and fellow's performance. Further information about Japanese Fellows is available on the Fellows Page on the Japanese Program site.
Candidates interested in applying for these positions should see our advertisement in the employment sections of the web sites for the Association for Asian Studies, the Association of Teachers of Japanese, or the Chinese Language Teachers Association in late fall each year.
