University Positions in Gwangju

 Instructors required for Credit, Elective, & Teacher Training Classes.

[Applicants will be required to have all pertinent documents currently in hand or imminently (for E-2 type applicants) or hold an F2/F6 visa]

Language Education Centre of Chonnam National University

Candidates must be native speakers and should preferably possess a Master’s degree, ideally in either TESOL, Applied Linguistics, Education, or another related field. Previous teaching experience at the university level will also be looked upon most favorably – especially those who have taught advanced conversation & writing classes at the tertiary level.

This position is for CNU’s main Gwangju campus. The expansive, rather verdant campus is one of the largest in Korea and has the amenities that you would expect of the province’s largest university. We are currently seeking dynamic, flexible, and dedicated applicants to teach various University Credit Classes, Language Centre Elective Courses (open to Students/Staff/Public), and some Specialty Courses for students, civil servants, CNU post-grads, and potentially other government programs. Applicants should also be confident and comfortable with participating in other types of classes such as Teacher Training or tailored courses such as presentation skills for graduate students. Experience with Teacher Training will be looked upon particularly favorably as we have new related courses from the Ministry of Education.
