Language Learning Center Director

The LLC Director must be both a capable administrator and a knowledgeable 
technician.  The Director is responsible for the day-to-day operation of the 
Center and therefore must have the professional and personal skills necessary 
to train and to supervise the student staff as well as working with the faculty 
of the Department of Modern Languages and Literatures in order to facilitate 
both student and faculty use of the Language Learning Center.  In this 
context, the Director assists faculty in implementing courseware, streaming 
video, and other support technologies, and takes the initiative in investigating 
and implementing new technological approaches while making sure that the 
existing technology in the Center is in good working order.  He or she 
administers the budget and oversees an on-going planning process which 
facilitates the timely maintenance, repair, replacement, and upgrading of 
equipment so that the LLC stays abreast of changes in technology.  In order 
to accurately assess the developing relationship between the Center and the 
classroom, the Director will teach three introductory or intermediate language 
courses per academic year.

The successful candidate will have a knowledge of and experience with 
instructional software, modern language broadcasts, network interfacing, and 
emerging as well as existing technologies.  He/she will be familiar with 
placement exams and will have the ability to implement pedagogy-related 
projects.  The Director should possess at minimum as M.S. or M.A. in 
Instructional Technology and/or in a modern language taught in the 
department.
