الوصف الوظيفي:
Part-Time Faculty Member in Arabic, Core Division_ AQB

Al-Quds Bard College is seeking candidates to teach in its Core Division beginning in the fall 2025 semester. The Core Division offers a series of undergraduate courses in text-based study and composition required of all Al-Quds Bard College students during their first two years of study, following a model applied across the world in the Bard College network. For this position, we seek a faculty member who will teach in Arabic as a Second Language and Arabic Composition courses, required two-semester courses for undergraduates in their second year of study.

Our teaching methods are student-centered, involving students in active discussion and group tasks to develop their reading, writing, speaking, production, and critical thinking skills. Successful candidates will be flexible problem solvers capable of engaging texts and fields in which they are not necessarily specialists. The chosen candidate must be prepared to teach students close reading, analytical and argumentative writing skills, research skills, and the ability to talk intelligently about texts.

Now in its sixteenth year of operation, Al-Quds Bard College for Arts and Sciences (AQB) is an innovative program offering a liberal arts undergraduate education and Master of Arts in Teaching program in Palestine, with an enrollment of about 350 students in 2024-25. AQB’s undergraduate program is rigorous, culminating in a two-semester independent senior project, which, in many fields, is a demanding research paper. Graduates of AQB receive two degrees: a BA or a MAT from Al-Quds University and a BA or MAT from Bard College (New York).
