About The Position

This is a Regular Part-Time Professor position for the FRA1710 - Analyse, écriture et argumentation I course during the Fall 2026 semester at the Main Campus. The course involves the lecture and analysis of works from different literary domains or genres, focusing on current topics relevant to contemporary situations and debates. It includes practical writing exercises such as summaries and analytical reports, as well as addressing common grammatical errors. This section is delivered in person, with a three-hour weekly class session, and utilizes a "flipped classroom" pedagogical approach. Students are first exposed to theoretical content through activities for self-appropriation, followed by a structured lecture to clarify and deepen concepts. The course plan, including texts, session structure, and theoretical content, is predetermined. A professor's guide will be available before the session begins. Professors teaching this course must use the Brightspace "toolkit" developed by the Department and SAEA, and adhere to all points in the Guide for Faculty to ensure uniformity in evaluations and strict adherence to the pre-established schedule for all sections. Professors are responsible for a portion of the grading (according to established rules), overseeing grading by teaching assistants, and supervising teaching assistants during exam invigilation. Usual tasks include preparing PowerPoints, explanatory documents, answer keys, participating in coordination team discussions, and managing a high volume of emails with students, teaching assistants, the coordinator, and other professors teaching the same course. The course requires strong collaboration skills with the entire pedagogical team, especially given potentially tight deadlines. Proficiency in or willingness to acquire skills in preferred communication and teaching tools (TEAMS, Microsoft Outlook, ZOOM, Brightspace, EXCEL, etc.) is necessary. Professors must be on-site as the course is delivered in person.
