Personally, I would use 'next semester' as well, but the other two options would also be suitable.I'm not a teacher yet, but I am studying a Bachelor of Education with an English Literature major at Charles Sturt University, in NSW, Australia.

Re: next semester/ the next semester/ in the next semester you will be teaching Shake 'Next semester' refers to the one after this. 'The next semester' normally refers to the one after the one we have been talking about.
