Responsibilities & Context
This person creates Kahini's learning content — the phrases, the lessons, and the structure that moves learners from beginner to fluent. The priority is producing work that is accurate, well-sequenced, and correct.
The role is content-focused. Most of the time will be writing and refining phrases and lessons. It also includes owning proficiency leveling — deciding what is taught at each stage and in what order — and advising on exercise types and lesson structure where that affects how well the content teaches. It does not involve building the app or managing a team.
Responsibilities
- Write phrases including Bangla, English translation, and transliteration
- Build lessons including questions, answer choices, and plausible wrong answers that teach common mistakes
- Own proficiency leveling: define what each level means, decide what is taught when, and sequence lessons across the curriculum, including how the paths differ for the three learner types
- Maintain a content style guide: register (apni/tumi/tui), tone, transliteration rules, spelling, and format to teach Bangla script
- Advise on exercise types and lesson structure where it affects teaching quality
- Maintain and improve existing content: fix errors, revise based on learner feedback and completion data, and expand the library over time
Requirements
- Native command of Bangla, including spelling, punctuation, and formal grammar
- Strong knowledge of language-learning pedagogy and curriculum design: spaced repetition, teaching before testing, scaffolding, and building a coherent progression
- Strong English writing; the English side of every lesson must be correct as the Bangla
- Experience designing a course or curriculum from scratch, not only writing to an existing outline
- Comfort working in a web-based content admin tool
Nice to have
- Bachelors of Bangla from public university
- Bachelors of Education
- Familiarity with West Bengali Bangla and how it differs
- Experience teaching online
- Experience writing for language apps or edtech products
- Experience revising content based on analytics and user feedback
