The Centre for English Language Education (CELE) is now seeking exceptional candidates to join us as Course Tutors in English for Academic Purposes (EAP).

About Centre for English Language Education (CELE)

Since the development of the Nottingham Ningbo campus in 2004, the Centre for English Language Education (CELE) has aimed to promote high-quality EAP teaching in its structure and support of academic programmes delivered in China. With over 110 academic staff, the CELE operation at UNNC is now one of the largest of its kind in the world and is currently supporting students on UNNC Preliminary Year modules, presessionals, summer schools and in-sessional language and academic skills support programmes.

Applications are therefore invited from suitably qualified English language teaching professionals able to offer experience and expertise in one or more of the following key fields:

• EAP/ESP teaching, including online teaching and support through Virtual Learning Environments (VLEs)
• EAP/ESP syllabus and curriculum design
