International TA Training

The ITA training course helps non-native English speaking TAs to improve their oral communication and classroom teaching skills.

The course focuses on three areas essential to good teaching.

  1. Teaching and Presentation Skills: Digitally recorded teaching presentations, tutorials, and peer feedback.
  2. Communication Skills: Practice ways to improve your classroom communication skills.
  3. Cultural Background: Discussion of the TA’s role, undergraduates’ expectations of a TA, and the unique aspects of the US educational system.
