The Centre for Academic Language and Development at the University of Bristol is seeking an EAP Coordinator to take on a leading role in supporting and enhancing the use of digital learning across our teaching provisions, alongside contributing to the Centre's teaching activity in English for Academic Purposes. If you share our principles of development, reflexivity, autonomy, collaboration, transparency and transferability, and would like to help others put these into practice, this may be the role for you. You will work alongside academic colleagues (in EAP and our other subject areas taught on our International Foundation Programme), our in-Centre Learning Technology Team, and senior leadership to devise and implement actions that lead to the embedding of meaningful digital learning affordances across our curriculum activities, with the overall aim of supporting student engagement and fostering independent learning. This is an opportunity to influence our work at a significant stage in the shaping of how we perceive our teaching, learning, and assessment in the digital era, at a time when there are big questions about artificial intelligence, the digital curriculum, and the impact of these on academic language and development. Your prior experience in digital learning will help us address these questions. You may also line manage a range of individuals. We value developmental line management as much as curriculum design and teaching.What will you be doing? You'll be

• collaborating with a wide range of colleagues across disciplines and contexts

• working with a newly established digital education group
• designing innovative digital learning opportunities for curriculum and staff development
• drawing on your expertise in English for Academic Purposes to inform our discussions about the role of artificial intelligence in our learning and teaching contexts
  
  You will bring with you a particular enthusiasm for developing the digital education aspect of our provision and the knowledge and skills of our staff and students.
