Lone Star College-CyFair (Barker Cypress, south of 290) is looking for an adjunct faculty member to teach short duration, non-credit, conversational French courses beginning in the fall of 2008. The courses only last for a few weeks, and would meet in the evenings, once or twice a week, depending on the instructor’s scheduling preferences. The continuing education courses are mostly for adult community members taking conversation French for personal enrichment. For this reason, we’re looking for an animated, dedicated teacher with native or near-native fluency with travel experience in the Francophone world to facilitate basic conversations in functional task-based situations using the Schaum’s Communicating in French series. Interested parties should contact Cynthia Maclin (Cynthia.k.maclin@lonestar.edu, 281.290.3983) or Chairidee Smith (Chairidee.l.smith@lonestar.edu, 281.290.3930) in our academic division office. As usual with external postings, DO NOT contact AATF-Houston officers with regards to this posting. AATF-Houston assumes no responsibility for the correctness of the information in this posting.
Qui sommes-nous?
We are the Houston Chapter of the American Association of Teachers of French (AATF-Houston). The American Association of Teachers of French (AATF) was founded in 1927 and is the largest national association of French teachers in the world with nearly 10,000 members. Our members are French teachers at all levels and include approximately 3/4 secondary teachers and 1/4 post-secondary. We also have a growing number of French teachers in immersion settings and in the elementary grades. As a professional association, we seek to address the concerns of our members which include: promoting the study of languages in general and French in particular; facilitating the implementation of national and state standards in the classroom; improving the training of French teachers by encouraging minimum levels of language and cultural proficiency, and exposure to the French-speaking world through study abroad opportunities; creating opportunities and finding resources for practicing teachers to update their skills and improve their teaching; and, finally, encouraging the use of new technologies in the teaching of French and actively developing materials to support this use. Our regional representative to the national office is Dr. Jacqueline Thomas of Texas A&M University at Kingsville.
