The appointee is expected to (i) teach core and elective credit-bearing courses, language enhancement courses, workshops and services, and other English courses assigned by the Language Centre; (ii) assist in the design and development of course syllabuses, teaching materials and assessment tasks, as well as creating self-access language learning materials; (iii) assist in organising events, workshops and extracurricular activities; and (iv) perform other duties assigned by the Language Centre.

Requirements:
For Lecturer II, applicants should have a good postgraduate qualification, preferably a doctoral degree in Applied Linguistics, Linguistics, TESOL, or a related field, and native or native-like proficiency in English.
