The teaching assignment will consist of two sections of Introductory Chinese and one section of Advanced Chinese.

Other responsibilities include: Develop and communicate to students clear course objectives and goals; plan and develop an instructional program that helps students assimilate specific course content and skills; hold tutorial sessions as outlined by the department; regularly monitor and evaluate students’ progress, providing them with resources and feedback on their performance; structure and manage an environment conducive to learning; model for students responsibility to self and others; follow the School’s philosophy, policies, and procedures; serve as academic advisor to a small group of students (beginning in the second year of employment); serve as a Mini-Term sponsor; attend departmental, faculty, and staff meetings; serve on departmental, faculty, and school-based standing committees; write recommendations for as many as 12 students each year, as requested; participate in professional development and personal intellectual growth activities.

New York City needs teachers who can speak more than English - including those conversant in Spanish and Chinese -is turning to the city's colleges for help.
"The New York City Department of Education approached us, telling us that there's a shortage of bilingually certified teachers, and if we would be able to provide a bilingual extension for current New York City teachers," said Jesus Fraga, director of a new bilingual certification program at the City College of New York's (CCNY) School of Education.
The program, which is funded by the New York City Department of Education (DOE), is in its second year and trains about 40 to 45 in-service teachers annually for state certification to teach in English and an additional language.
Most of the teachers enrolled in the program work in multicultural communities near CCNY, such as Washington Heights, East Harlem and the South Bronx, but some also work at schools in Brooklyn and Queens. The greatest need is for teachers who are fluent in Spanish, but there is also demand for teachers with Chinese, French or Haitian Creole language skills.
"In each of the cohorts, there are generally somewhere between two, three or four Chinese applicants, which is generally corresponding to the bilingual program population out there," Fraga said.
Apart from possessing fluency in English and an additional language, teachers interested in participating in the program must also be recommended by their school principals.
The teachers take 15 credit hours of classes in linguistics, multicultural education, teaching language arts and teaching content - such as math, science or social studies - in two languages. Classes are taught in the evenings and the DOE pays teachers' tuitions.
"Language and culture are intertwined and inseparable," Fraga said. "So, part of the bilingual endorsement is a course on education that's multicultural that really provides sensitivity and unpacks issues that may arise in teachers' classrooms or their schools, or communities."
Over the past 40 years, the number of foreign-born New Yorkers has more than doubled to about 3 million, or 37 percent of the city's total population, according to the Census Bureau. Today, the Latin American immigrant population leads at about 32 percent, followed by the Asian population with about 26 percent, which includes more than 350,000 foreign-born Chinese.
In addition to CCNY, Hunter College has also joined the DOE to offer its bilingual certification program. Expectations are tentative in extending these partnerships for the 2014-2015 school year, according to the DOE website, but Fraga remains confident.
"The feedback [on the program] has been very positive from the teachers," said Fraga, who has taught a teaching literacy class for the program's Spanish bilingual teachers. "I think the teachers are generally happy to use their bilingual skills with children and in their schools."
The program director said he looks forward to continuing the program's partnership with the DOE.

MLA Update--posted on Sep. 15, 2013
Dear Colleagues, The Modern Language Association (MLA) is undergoing the most dramatic restructuring in 40 years. This has particular dividends for those of us in Chinese studies. The organization is divided into a legion of executive committees, the primary clearing house for sessions ( code for panels). To date, these have been heavily weighted toward English and European languages. Currently, there are two East Asian divisions, and that's it. The new framework proposes THREE for Chinese: something like "Chinese to the Ming" ; " Ming and Qing Chinese"; and "Modern and Contemporary Chinese" (these are my proposed revisions to their current proposed titles, which are tentative). Additionally, they propose a "Comparative East Asian" division. (They also propose a " Japanese" and a "Korean" division each, but I'll just focus on the ones that impact Chinese. What this means is that instead of having us all sandwiched into two divisions like some Orientalist fantasy, Chinese will now have 3 divisions in addition to the comparative one as well as giving much-needed oxygen to our colleagues in Japanese and Korean so that we are not all fighting with each other over the academic equivalent of one saltine cracker. Why is this important? The MLA is the most important professional organization for literary studies and language studies, and certainly one, if not the, most important organization for cultural studies in North America. It is not a social club. If you are graduate student in Chinese language andliterature/culture, you will likely at some point be called to interview at the MLA. If you are a professor at a research institution with graduate students, your students will need the MLA. If you are interested in attracting a book publisher, it has the largest book exhibit of its kind , and much " business" is conducted at the MLA. Related initiatives are already underway in the MLA publishing wing, which publishes many books on literature -- translation as well as scholarly. Chinese is largely uncharted territory for them, but they are keen to correct that.The word "modern" might stop some people from taking interest, but it is important to keep in mind that they view the word expansively. Anylanguage currently in use is considered "modern," and the MLA has many divisions in early language studies of languages still spoken. It wascreated over a hundred years ago in contradistinction to classical languages such as ancient Greek, Latin and Hebrew. They have high hopes to increase the prominence of Chinese of all periods in the organization. If you are already an MLA member , please, please go to the MLA website and log into the "MLA Commons" then click on "An Open Discussion of the MLA Group Structure." You can view the "draft proposal" and make comments by clicking any paragraph. Please make comments -- preferably supporting the changes (suggestions are of course welcome). This is not set yet, and there could be push back from the vested interests, so we need voices of support. If you are not an MLA member but are in literary / cultural studies, please consider becoming a member. The new "groups" (formerly called "divisions") will need leadership. This will be particularly important for classical scholars, as the MLA already attracts a fair number of modern scholars. Thanks for your attention to this. Christopher Lupke
