| Description | We are interested in recruiting well-qualified, committed and experienced teachers of EFL/ESL/EAP to teach: In either the Preparatory English program (PEP), a foundation year preparing students for entry to undergraduate studies; or, in the English Language Department (ELD) teaching undergraduate students. The PEP is part of the Preparatory Year Program (PYP), preparing male students for English - medium studies leading to a B.S. degree in science, engineering or industrial management. The PEP consists of two 20 – hour – per - week pre-university intensive courses in general and academic English. The courses take a communicative/interactive task-based approach to language learning and focus on the development of functional English in the four areas of Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing. The ELD teaches a three-course program of undergraduate writing and communication skills (ENGL101, 102 and 214) from freshman to senior level. It is a service department for all the colleges. The PEP currently employs a total faculty of 88 native (born) speakers of English (USA, UK, Canada, Ireland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa) and the ELD has a faculty numbering 23. Higher education in Saudi Arabia is segregated by sex and, since KFUPM is a male - only university, all candidates for teaching positions must be male.
