Seeking Ukrainian language/culture teachers -- Nov 30 deadline

November 26, 2009 -- The Saskatchewan Organization for Heritage Languages (www.heritagelanguages.sk.ca) is looking for Ukrainian language instructors and an honorarium of $30/hour exists. Teachers must apply to participate by Monday, November 30, 2009. Please see information poster (PDF) about teaching in the Mini Language Lessons Program across the province.

SOHL places teachers in communities all over Saskatchewan; individuals interested in teaching outside of the municipality in which they reside may do so as well. As an example, the Elementary School in Hafford is a UNESCO Associate school. Hafford community was originally settled by Ukrainian immigrants and the teachers there feel that the culture is becoming lost. They wish to create a special class in the school for Ukrainian language and culture lessons if a Ukrainian teacher can be located for them. SOHL is able to pay a little in transportation costs, and so even an individual who wishes to commute to teach could participate.

Those interested should contact Leah Perlett, Program Coordinator at the SOHL office in Regina as soon as possible as they will need to match up schools/teachers all over the province. They like to notify the teachers prior to the Christmas break whether or not their application was successful to assist with their planning.
