Innovative approaches to effective pedagogy and classroom techniques are encouraged. Instructors will develop course materials, choose appropriate textbooks, and develop content based on the English Language Program's curriculum guide, program objectives, and administrative guidance.

Instructors report to the Executive Director of English Language Programs and Community Education. Tutoring sessions, according to pre-arranged schedules, are taught either on the FSU campus or online.
