ESL Internship at Bard-Smolny

The ESL intern will participate in multiple parts of the BESLI program, including helping with language instruction during and outside of class, organizing and participating in excursions, and assisting with the general administration of the program. This experience will help familiarize the intern with ESL programs and teaching in an ESL context. Room, board, and a small stipend will be provided during the intern’s time in New York.

In St. Petersburg, the intern will teach conversational English to first- and second-year students at Smolny, under the direction of ESL faculty, for the academic year. The accepted candidate will be expected to contribute approximately 16–20 hours a week during the 16-week fall and spring semesters, holding open office hours in addition to group sessions.

The successful applicant will be an alumna/us of the Bard-Smolny semester/academic year program, have a valid driver’s license, and be committed to international liberal arts education. Applicants with previous successful teaching experience are highly valued. Applicants do not need an ESL certificate to apply, but the accepted candidate must obtain one before arriving at Smolny in September.

Resume review will begin in March and continue until April 1. Please submit a cover letter, resume, and two references to mfreese@bard.edu.
