Job Description
The Department of World Languages Literatures and Cultures hires advanced language students to work as undergraduate teaching assistants (T.A.s). After a brief training program these teaching assistants will lead 50minute drill sessions in the target language for our firstyear students either in Chinese French German Italian or Spanish. These T.A. sessions complement the 3 hours led by the court instructor.
T.A.s lead recitation sessions for groups of no more than 13 students to reinforce material introduced in class by the instructor. T.A. responsibilities include:
- Meeting weekly with the course instructor in charge to discuss material to be drilled and coordinate appropriate exercises.
- Organizing and preparing all exercises to be presented in the drill session.
- Presenting drills and maintaining a vital classroom atmosphere.
- Taking attendance at all drill sessions and report the attendance record to the court instructor (either weekly intervals or at the end as agreed).
- Communicating any concerns to either the course instructor (firstly) or to Annette Levine the T.A. Program Director.
The Program is explicitly designed to 1 help T.A.s be comfortable in their role in front of the classroom; and 2 provide healthy and vital drill sessions for our firstyear students.
