Join ITAP, the International Teaching Assistant Program!

The Center for Teaching (CFT) and the English Language Center (ELC) provide support for international graduate teaching assistants (ITAs) in the form of English language courses and training for teaching in the American classroom. In addition to the opportunity for ITAs to take a variety of language and teaching classes, ITAs also benefit from one-on-one meetings with undergraduate Language Partners and Teaching Partners (formerly known as “student consultant”). Language Partners complement the work done in the English courses at the ELC, while Teaching Partners primarily serve as a resource on Vanderbilt culture in the classroom, providing feedback and assistance for ITAs enrolled in the Teaching Practicum course at the CFT. Both Language Partners and Teaching Partners must attend mandatory orientation sessions at the beginning of the semester, as well as participate in giving feedback during two ITA language evaluations throughout the year.

Duties may include practicing pronunciation with an ITA, engaging in listening and speaking activities, providing feedback on teaching presentations, and talking about American culture, particularly in the American classroom. Pairs meet a specified number of hours each week (depending on the need of the ITA, usually 1 - 3 hours/week). The pay is $7.45/hour and the schedule is flexible; pairs set their own meeting times. Students who want to work more hours can work with two ITAs.

Teaching Partner applications for Fall 2008 are due by May 2 to the CFT (Calhoun 116) or melissa.s.krasnove@vanderbilt.edu For more information, contact the CFT at 322-7292.

Applicants interested in a Language Partner position should contact Bosun Jang, Office Assistant/Language Partners Program Coordinator, English Language Center.
