IP-IALC has been widely recognized as a top provider of English for Academic Purposes in the United States. Instructors provide high quality English as a second language (ESL) instruction based on learning outcomes. Instructors are responsible for teaching high quality ESL classes at a variety of levels for undergraduates and graduates in the AE program and in pathways, preparing authentic student assessment, providing ongoing feedback to students and for all other matters related to teaching. Instructors also participate in the development, evaluation and refinement of the curriculum and they collaborate with colleagues to develop, evaluate and refine theme-based course materials. They also participate in the ongoing program accreditation process. Instructors are required to attend all designated meetings and functions, hold office hours based on credit load, substitute teach when needed, and meet annual program professional development requirements. They are expected to uphold policies and procedures of the University and to interact with other faculty members in the spirit of cooperation and professionalism. University Overview
