advice and
support. As part of the contract, the Director attends one meeting
during the
winter.

French Faculty
June 25-July 26, 2008
French Faculty for Summer Immersion Camp
The Middlebury-Monterey Language Academy (MMLA) offers four-week
summer
immersion camp experiences for middle and high school students
each
July. Located on college campuses at various US locations, we
combine the
fun of summer camp with the opportunity to study with skilled
faculty
and staff, so that students are immersed in the Arabic, Mandarin
Chinese, French or Spanish language.
Working with the French School Director and a carefully planned
curriculum, French faculty will be responsible for leadership
of the formal
academic and informal social and recreational activities of
the French
school. Classroom teaching is just part of the French School
at MMLA.
During most of the day we are using French in the events and
activity of
summer camp-sports, drama, games, music, field trips, arts and
crafts,
etc.-and the French faculty provides leadership for all camp
activity.
Students and faculty adopt a language pledge, modified as needed
for
the age group and language level, so that a full-immersion French
environment is created. For the most part, faculty will be housed
in the same
dormitories as students, or in nearby campus accommodation.
Residential
staff-not faculty-are responsible for student life in the dormitories.
Applicants for this position should have native or near-native
fluency
in the language; direct teaching experience with middle and/or
high
school students; summer camp experience is preferred. Evidence
of
leadership among peers, ability to relate well to students and
the capacity to
adapt quickly to changing situations is required.
Accommodation for families may be possible; room charges for
faculty
families may be covered by MMLA; meal plans for spouse and children
will
be billed to the faculty person. Family members must use the
target
language. Competitive salary and room and board.
