The International Baccalaureate (IB) is currently seeking an experienced individual to take on the role of Examiner Responsible for their Tajik A1 literature course.

The IB is a non-profit educational foundation offering challenging programmes for a world wide community of schools. It is now represented in over 100 countries and in over 1,000 schools. The IB provides an international pre-university curriculum and an international university entry qualification, which gives access to higher education on a worldwide basis. You may be interested to visit our public website at www.ibo.org for more details.

One of the characteristics of the IB's diploma programme is that students are required to study a literature (A1) course, as one of six subjects that constitute the diploma. The A1 course is studied in the first language ('mother tongue') of the student and involves the study of both the literature of the student's native language, and works of world literature studied in translation.

The duties of the post of examiner responsible include the setting and marking of examinations and may involve occasional (paid) travel to the IB curriculum and assessment centre in Cardiff. Examiners will be given clear instructions and well supported throughout the process. Please note that this position is part-time, involves no relocation, and is usually undertaken in addition to existing work commitments.

Professionals of the following background are invited to apply:
· Native / fluent speakers of Tajik
· Qualified to at least degree level (ideally in the language itself but this is not always the case, someone with a history degree and a strong interest in literature could well be able to do this, for example)
· Teaching experience
· Examining experience (desirable but not essential).

The mother tongue entitlement is very important to us here at the IB and we are committed to offering 'special request' languages such as Tajik. We would be very keen to hear from all individuals with the above experience. If you wish to apply, or would like further information, please contact Michael Rogers by e-mail (Michael.rogers@ibo.org).

Thank you very much for reading this message and giving consideration to it.
