Seeking a Part-Time English Langauge Trainer
We are planning to offer a pilot English language course for administrative staffs at YU this fall and are seeking its trainer among current part-time lecturers within the university or their fellow professionals in the region. The trainer will be teaching the course twice a week at the Kojirakwa campus from mid September to late November 2011. For details, please see the description below. If you are interested, please contact Akira Kuwamura whose contact information is at the bottom of this page.
This is part of our foreign language support initiative we are currently taking in response to the staff’s increasing need for using their second language at work. Depending on the outcome of this pilot course, we plan to expand the program from the next academic year on in ways to add courses that would meet varied proficiency levels and languages.
