There may be occasional opportunities to teach upper-level Chinese language courses or cultural courses in English. The teaching load is 30 credits per year (approximately equivalent to a 5-5 load). The lecturer will collaborate with the coordinator of the Chinese program on curricula and on the organization of extracurricular activities.

Additionally, their application materials should provide evidence of the candidate’s ability to contribute to a multi-language departmental culture that values a variety of perspectives. Since its creation in 2018, the Chinese program has grown significantly; a new minor in Chinese Studies was established in 2021. The program also contributes to the Languages and Intercultural Studies major and minor curricula, as well as to the Asian Studies minor. Students in the Chinese program have opportunities to enhance their learning via study abroad, often supported via prestigious scholarships, including the Chinese Government Scholarship and the Moe Huayu Enrichment Scholarship Program.Coastal Carolina University is a public comprehensive liberal arts institution located in Conway, South Carolina, just nine miles from the Atlantic coastal resort city of Myrtle Beach.
