will bring enrollment to 7,000 students within the next three years. All instruction at WKU is in English, and the curriculum is provided by
Kean University and adapted to the needs of the local student population. In addition to its current 18 undergraduate programs, WKU was
approved by the Ministry of Education to offer graduate programs starting from 2020. Currently, the University offers 8 graduate
programs.
Wenzhou is one of the most vibrant and economically developed cities on China’s East Coast, located one hour by plane

About the Job:
WKU launched the graduate program
in Instruction and Curriculum (TESOL Concentration) in Fall 2020 with an initial cohort of 12 students. The second cohort enrolled 19
students and the third cohort enrolled 30 new students. Our student body includes both pre-service teachers as well as experienced k-12
teachers from all over China. We anticipate a steady programmatic expansion in the future that will bring in additional students as well as
faculty members.
WKU is seeking two to three candidates to teach a full range of MA TESOL graduate courses. Our faculty teaches
graduate-level courses in general linguistics, TESOL methods, language assessment, and engages in research with students, as well as in a
variety of other program-specific projects.

Second Language (TESL) and the demonstrated ability to prepare MA TESOL students to teach in both ESL and EFL contexts. Candidates with EFL
teaching at the K-12 level and teacher-training experience will be prioritized for this position. Candidates must have an ongoing agenda for
student-engaging research and are expected to publish research outcomes in well-recognized journals. Candidates are expected to advise
graduate students to develop research projects and produce publishable research outcomes. In addition to teaching and research, candidates
are expected to contribute to the growth of the program, including but not limited to curriculum development, program assessment, student
recruitment and advising, faculty hiring, program promotion, and internship opportunities.
This full-time faculty position will start
in Fall 2023. This position will be offered at the Lecturer level or at the rank of Tenure-Track Assistant or Associate Professor. All

internationally recognized and vigorously peer-reviewed journals in the field. Tenure-track faculty members typically carry a 24-credit-hour
load per academic year. Six (6) credits course release per academic year is available in the first 2 years of appointment. After the initial
2 years, course release may be available to faculty for national-level grant proposal development or other substantial research initiatives.
The candidate will be expected to participate in the full range of faculty responsibilities, including high-quality teaching, research,
advising, student learning support, and service to the university and/or professional community.

grants (up to 50,000 RMB) to support candidates to start their research projects. After joining WKU, faculty have the opportunity to apply
for a variety of internal research funding including international research collaboration grants (up to 300,000 RMB per project) as well as
