Details of Position
The University of Central Lancashire (UCLan) invites applications from qualified English for Academic Purposes Tutors to teach on its Foundation Year programme at HBU-UCLan school of Media, Communications and Creative Industries during the 2024-25 academic year.
HBU-UCLan School of Media, Communication and Creative Industries, is a non-independent status Joint School partnership between Hebei University, China and the University of Central Lancashire, UK (approved by the Ministry of Education China). Located in the historic city of Baoding, approximately 40 minutes from Beijing by fast train, the city is becoming a commuter base for Beijing and Hebei Province.

BA (Hons) Animation
BA (Hons) Creative Advertising
BA (Hons) Filmmaking
BA(Hons) Graphic Design
BA (Hons) Interior Design
BA (Hons) Media and Television Production
MA Interior Design
MA Music Industry Management & Promotion
THE ROLE
HBU-UCLans Foundation Year modules are taught over two semesters by a core team of EAP and TESOL specialist English speaking tutors. As an EAP tutor, you will be responsible for delivering Academic Literacy, Language Proficiency and ESAP modules to first year students as part of their four-year degree, studying a range of design and media subject disciplines. Curriculum, lesson content and assessments are typically provided by UCLan for all modules. A full-time post, the EAP tutor will deliver up to 18 hours of classes per week.
EDUCATION, QUALIFICATIONS & EXPERIENCE
