Wesleyan University seeks a Director of the Language Resource Center who 
will provide technology support for language teaching at Wesleyan and 
supervise a state-of-the art, 30-station multimedia facility.  The Director 
will assume a leadership role in researching and testing current and 
emerging technologies for language instruction as well as in promoting 
their use in the curriculum, primarily in association with faculty who 
teach Asian Languages and Literatures, German Studies, Romance Languages 
and Literatures, Russian Language and Literature, and Hebrew, but also with 
faculty from other departments.  He or she will conduct and coordinate

of student workers.  He or she will be aided by a committee of faculty and 
administrators.  The director will work with the Director of Academic 
Computing Services in developing and implementing technologies for foreign 
language instruction for both conventional and self-instructional 
methodologies; in supervising the maintenance of the Center's equipment; in 
designing and supporting multimedia classrooms; and in overseeing the 
budget for the LRC. The Director of the LRC will also work closely with the 
Director of Wesleyan's Office of International Studies in coordinating the 
instruction of less commonly taught languages, and in developing multimedia 
and intercultural resources.
The Director will collaborate with faculty and administrative colleagues in 
seeking outside funding for new initiatives.
