Full Job Description

The Afrikaans FAL Subject Specialist will shape how Huddle teaches Afrikaans to learners across the Senior and FET phases, most of whom encounter the subject as a second or additional language, and many of whom arrive with complicated feelings about it.

This role is for someone who understands the science of how language is acquired, knows how to build proficiency in learners who are starting from behind, and has the creativity and conviction to make Afrikaans feel relevant, achievable, and even enjoyable. You’ll be building content in a context where learner motivation is often low and the stakes are high and that challenge should excite you.

The role may evolve as Huddle’s programme expands across grades and subjects.

Responsibilities

Responsibilities may include but are not limited to:

Support the implementation and analysis of baseline assessments to identify learner gaps in Afrikaans FAL language proficiency and literacy
Develop bridging content and intervention strategies grounded in second language acquisition principles
Design and script engaging, curriculum-aligned video lessons across Grades 8-12
Build content that develops reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills in an online environment
Set rigorous formal and informal assessments that accurately reflect CAPS Afrikaans FAL requirements and learner proficiency
Analyse learner performance data and adapt content and interventions accordingly
Identify creative approaches, including contextually relevant examples, culturally resonant content, and motivational design to shift learner attitudes toward Afrikaans
Contribute to or run targeted language remediation programmes
Spend regular time with teachers and in classrooms to stay close to the learner experience, surface real instructional challenges, and ensure content development is grounded in lived classroom reality
Design and facilitate teacher professional development sessions and training that build capacity around Afrikaans FAL instruction, language teaching strategies, and effective use of Huddle resources
Conduct user observation with learners and gather feedback to improve content and delivery
Review lesson plans and videos from colleagues and contribute to a shared definition of excellence
Work closely with the broader academic team to align Afrikaans FAL content with Huddle’s pedagogical framework
Maintain project documentation and learning resources
Complete work on time with clear and regular communication

Requirements

Education

A BEd or PGCE with a specialisation in Afrikaans First Additional Language, Senior and/or FET Phase

Experience

Preference will be given to candidates with 3 or more years’ experience teaching Afrikaans FAL in a low- or no-fee school; all experience levels will be considered
Demonstrated experience teaching Afrikaans as a second or additional language to learners with significant proficiency gaps
Experience designing or developing curriculum resources; experience creating content for online or blended environments is advantageous

Knowledge

Strong grounding in the science of second language acquisition and what evidence-based language teaching looks like in practice
Deep understanding of the challenges facing Afrikaans FAL learners in under-resourced contexts, including attitudinal and motivational barriers
Thorough knowledge of the CAPS Afrikaans FAL curriculum across the Senior and FET phases
Familiarity with how language gaps compound across grades if left unaddressed

Skills

Language and literacy instruction: able to design content that systematically builds proficiency (vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, and written expression) in second language learners
Data-driven: comfortable analysing learner performance data and using it to make decisions about sequencing, pacing, and content design
Creative: brings genuine imagination to the challenge of making Afrikaans FAL engaging, through analogy, context, humour, cultural relevance, or unexpected angles
Communication: clear, warm, and precise; able to script in a voice that speaks directly and accessibly to teenage learners
Collaboration: works well with a team of educators, designers, and developers
Project management: manages multiple workstreams simultaneously; comfortable with digital tools and platforms
Adaptability: adjusts scope, goals, or approach as needed, quickly and without resistance

Personal Qualities

Deeply mission-aligned, motivated by what it means for a learner to pass Afrikaans FAL and what it costs them not to
Strong growth mindset; welcomes feedback and iterates fast
Data-curious: you want to know whether what you’re building is working, and you use that information
Creative and optimistic about the subject- you believe Afrikaans FAL can be taught in a way that learners respond to, and you have ideas about how
Empathetic toward learners who struggle with or resist the language, without accepting low expectations
Comfortable with ambiguity and change; able to hold a clear goal while remaining flexible about how to reach it

Benefits

Medical Aid Allowance: R500 per month
Laptop Allowance: R200 per month, if using a personal laptop for work
Bonus Leave: 4 additional days per year, subject to hitting targets set by your manager
Birthday Leave: 1 additional paid day on ones birthday
