<h2><span style='font-size:11.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'>Curriculum
Writers for Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Indonesian and Korean Syllabus
Development<o:p></o:p></span></h2>
<p><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>To
assist with the development of syllabuses in Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese,
Indonesian and Korean for Heritage Language speakers at the senior secondary
level, the Office of the Board of Studies is creating a register of curriculum
writers for tasks at various stages of the syllabus development process.
Depending on their current employment, selected writers will be contracted or
deployed (subject to employer's approval) to undertake the writing tasks.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>Expressions
of interest for inclusion on the register are particularly sought from people
with advanced proficiency, skills, experience and/or expertise in the writing
of either Chinese (Mandarin), Japanese, Indonesian or Korean curriculum
materials.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>This
register will be used to identify potential writers for tasks at various stages
of the syllabus development process, beginning 24 August 2009. Once particular
tasks are identified, potential writers will be contacted to discuss any
further requirements of the task or to provide further information on which to
base their selection.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>Selected
writers will work under the direction of the Project Manager, Heritage
Languages Project, who has overall responsibility for coordinating and managing
each of the tasks associated with the development of the materials, and for
ensuring that the project is completed to the highest standard, on time, and
within budget. For some parts of the project several writers may be required to
work collaboratively. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style='font-size:9.5pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif";color:black'>Selected
writers will be expected to attend regular meetings and, in most cases, will be
required to undertake their writing at the Office of the Board of Studies NSW,
117 Clarence Street, Sydney.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
