Teaching ESL in Arizona's University-Based Programs

 

Arizona currently has three state universities: the University of Arizona (Tucson), Northern Arizona University (Flagstaff), and Arizona State University (Tempe); all have IEPs (intensive ESL programs

University-based IEPs in Arizona are similar to those in other states: they frequently have job openings--though the positions are usually part-time (on a class-session by class-session basis) and often do not include such benefits as retirement and insurance. Qualifications for IEP teaching almost always include a Master's degree in ESL/EFL or a related field (such as Applied Linguistics) and previous university-level teaching experience; however, full-time IEP positions are not often available, and when they are, they are highly competitive.

Those interested in information on IEP employment at the U of A or ASU (which are large programs and offer the best chance of openings) should select a link below and then ascertain whom to contact regarding the possibility of employment.
