Upper division courses might include Advanced Conversation & Phonetics, Advanced Grammar and Composition, Hispanic Cinema, Spanish Civilization or Literature, and Spanish-American Civilization or Literature. This faculty member will collaborate with and support adjunct faculty and will be coached by a senior language faculty to ensure impact and curricular cohesion. The candidate must have a PhD in Spanish, preferably in literature, and teaching experience at the college level is required. Additional important skills are taking initiative to implement creative lessons, building community with colleagues and students within the EML department, and encouraging students to minor in language or participate in our summer program in Oviedo, Spain.
