What is a French faculty?

French Faculty are educators who specialize in teaching the French language, literature, and culture at academic institutions such as schools, colleges, or universities. Their responsibilities typically include designing course materials, delivering lectures, assessing student progress, and sometimes conducting research in French studies. They play a key role in helping students develop proficiency in French, understand Francophone cultures, and appreciate French literary works. French Faculty may also advise students on academic or career paths related to language studies.

How does a French faculty member typically collaborate with other departments within an educational institution?

French Faculty members frequently collaborate with colleagues from other language departments, curriculum coordinators, and cultural organizations to develop interdisciplinary programs and events. This collaboration may include organizing language immersion activities, contributing to multicultural curriculum development, or co-hosting events like international fairs. Such teamwork not only enriches the learning experience for students but also offers faculty members opportunities for professional growth and innovation in teaching methods.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a French faculty, and why are they important?

To thrive as a French Faculty, you need advanced proficiency in French language, a relevant degree in French or education, and often teaching certification. Familiarity with language lab software, digital learning platforms, and assessment tools is typically required. Strong communication, cultural sensitivity, and classroom management skills help build rapport with students and foster a positive learning environment. These competencies ensure effective language instruction, student engagement, and successful educational outcomes.

Job description

Description
Knox College invites applications for a Visiting Assistant Professor / Instructor of French during the Winter and Spring trimesters of 2022 (starting January 3, 2022 through the first week of June).This position is a two-thirds visiting position with a full time teaching load during the Winter and Spring 10-week terms (2-2) with the possibility of extension. There are no obligations or compensation in the Fall term.
The candidate should be a strong language instructor, with a solid knowledge of the French language, both written and spoken. We particularly invite applications from French studies scholars with a demonstrated research and teaching focus in French for the Professions, or French for Special Purposes, or who have experience teaching French courses oriented around community service programs. The successful candidate will have a strong interest in teaching French courses at all undergraduate levels of our proficiency-oriented and inclusive program. Teaching responsibilities will be divided between French language instruction and courses in the candidate's area of specialization. The normal teaching load is two courses per ten-week trimester.
Knox is a diverse college with over 35% of the student body identifying as American students of color and an additional 15% international students. French faculty work hard to enroll a diverse group of students at all levels of instruction and successful candidates should be prepared to work to make French courses appealing and welcoming to all of Knox's students. Experience working with diverse populations of students and a commitment to teach successfully in a multicultural environment are expected.
Visiting faculty members at Knox are included in the professional and intellectual life of the College. The visiting faculty member will have a modest annual conference travel budget and access to research resources. Pay is commensurate with entry-level faculty positions at the College.
Qualifications
Ph.D. expected in French language and literature or related field, but strong ABD candidates will be considered.
Application Instructions
Candidates should submit:
  • a cover letter addressing the candidate's preparation for inclusive teaching at a diverse liberal arts college;
  • a curriculum vitae;
  • an unofficial graduate transcript;
  • three confidential letters of recommendation.
