disagree  Roddy Stegemann: This is probably not correct. A 講師 (utf-8) is more appropriate translated as instructor -- an individual who stands nearly at the bottom of the British academic hierarchy. // The word appropriate should have read appropriately.

the reader in english language
a special title


Explanation:
It is a particular grade or type of lecturer or instructor, I think. A special title. As you can see there was only one Reader in English Language at the University of Leeds.

eg (from the net):

Hervey, Sandor (Reader in Linguistics, University of St
Andrews)

Law, Robin (Reader in History, University of Stirling, Scotland)

Sorry, I can't help with the translation (even though we also have this title in some NZ universities).
