February - seeking MN summer language camp teachers

Mori no Ike Job Opportunity

Since 1961, Concordia Language Villages has offered summer language and culture immersion programs for youth, ages 7-18, in northern Minnesota. The program hosts 11,000 participants annually at 14 different Language Villages. The Japanese Language Village, Mori no Ike, has been a leader in Japanese language and culture education since its inception in 1988. Days are filled with Japanese song, dance, theater, and food in a culturally authentic Village environment. Over 500 young people attend Mori no Ike for 1-, 2-, or 4- weeks every summer. The staff are proficient Japanese speakers who enjoy being outdoors and making language learning fun. About 30% are native speakers, the rest are Japanese speakers from around the world. We are accepting applications for an array of six-week summer positions for teachers or students of Japanese, ages 16 or older, through March 15. For more information on positions and contract dates, visit www.ConcordiaLanguageVillages.org. We hope you'll
join us for the fun in 2007!
