The Chronicle of Higher Education (TCHE) is a common source for new faculty positions in higher education. Job announcements for TESOL and related topics (e.g.,English as a second language) posted in the TCHE were read weekly for one academic year. Specific attributes of the announcement were noted for analysis using a coding sheet compatible with the TESOL discipline. The Carnegie Foundation designations for higher education institutions resulted in eight categories (two each for research, doctoral, Masters, and baccalaureate-granting institutions (Evangelauf, 1994). During the 2006 -2007 academic year, a total of 63 TESOL position announcements appeared with 53.8% offering tenure track positions. Almost 40% of the positions were at Masters comprehensive institutions, according to the Carnegie ranking. More than 35% of these positions, regardless of the type of institution, were entry-level positions (assistant professor). Regarding teaching responsibilities, more than 46% of the advertised positions requested the candidate to teach graduate courses and 33% requested undergraduate courses. For non-teaching responsibilities, more than 52% of the positions expected scholarly activities, while 30% expected the candidate to supervise student teachers.
