Seville Teaching Appointment
(Verano 2017, Otoño 2017, Primavera 2018)
This teaching appointment is a good opportunity for graduate students to experience
teaching in a study abroad context. Unlike on-campus teaching, study abroad involves
having a sound teaching experience, understanding students’ needs when living abroad,
raising students’ cultural awareness, providing a successful and long-lasting experience
while learning the language and culture of Spain, and working well and respectfully with
students and personnel in the Seville campus. This study abroad program is a very
important language experience for the Spanish program, and one which the Spanish
faculty wants to preserve and expand.
This teaching appointment is the result of a highly competitive application process and
reserved only for graduate students who demonstrate that they can work well in the
Seville campus. For this reason, after the forms are received, the Spanish faculty as a
whole discusses all the candidates, votes, and agrees on the top candidates. The faculty
discusses the following areas:
•
Status in the program: ABDs have a better chance to obtain the position, but only
if the student can successfully fulfill the other areas (see below) that are also
evaluated.
•
Excellent teaching skills: students’ evaluations, teaching observations, ability to
teach only in Spanish, being able to promote communicative interactions in the
classroom, impartiality when providing grades, professional conduct with students
(not fraternizing with students).
•
Good academic standing: grades, showing seriousness in studies and in the
MA/PhD courses, progressing successfully during her/his program and
dissertation, etc.
•
Good citizenship: works well and respectfully with others—meaning professors,
colleagues, coordination team, director of Spanish-lower courses, and other
departmental administrative personnel.
•
Complete the form in a professional manner: complete sentences (no run-on
sentences), providing clear statements and reasons for being in the Seville
campus.
