Gonzaga University's School of Education in Spokane, WA invites applications for one, full-time, fixed-term, non-tenure-track position in the Master's in Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages program, in the Teacher Education department. The position involves teaching core and elective MA/TESOL and ELL Endorsement courses, supervising Thesis/Projects, advising and mentoring candidates one-on-one, and engaging candidates in meaningful community-based projects. Details about TESOL programs are available online at https://www.gonzaga.edu/school-of-education/graduate/m-a-teaching-english-to-speakers-of-other-languages .

The MA/TESOL program integrates theory and practice to build candidates' knowledge of language and its use, and to explore the interrelationships of cultures, teaching methods and language acquisition. Faculty and students work collaboratively to explore innovations in learning and teaching. Hands-on projects and other field-based learning opportunities prepare candidates to plan, teach, reflect, research and lead in schools and the community. TESOL Programs is launching an ELL Endorsement Certificate program in 2023 for in-service K-12 teachers and is therefore particularly interested in candidates with a strong background in K-12 ELL teaching and teacher-training.

Gonzaga University is located on the banks of the Spokane river approximately 1 mile from downtown Spokane. Spokane provides its residents with a variety of activities from accessible downtown shopping and entertainment to the beautiful landscape of the Inland Northwest. Spokane's longtime motto is "Near Nature Near Perfect" as its residents are minutes away from beautiful lakes, high elevation deserts, and rustic mountains. We encourage applications from women, members of minority groups, protected persons, and others committed to expanding the diversity of the profession.
