It's not too late for international graduate teaching assistants to get registered for Fall ITA support courses. Interested students should make a course request through the online MSU Speaking Test System or contact the ITA Program Coordinator directly at itaprogram@elc.msu.edu. Please note, students are not able to enroll themselves. They must make an appointment with the ITA Program coordinator.
The following courses are available for students who have not yet met the university oral proficiency requirement for TAs or current TAs who want intensive language practice and support for the classroom:
- AAE 451-Oral Communication for ITAs TThF 3:00-4:20
- AAE 452-Language of the American Classroom for ITA TThF 12:40-2:00
For students who have an MSU Speaking Test score of 50 or higher or who have already met the university oral proficiency requirement for TAs, we offer the following seminar-style course designed to support and mentor ITAs in their first few semesters of MSU teaching. This course is equivalent to a one-credit course and meets at a time that is agreed upon by enrolled students and instructor:
- AAE 453- Support for In-Service ITA Teaching TBD
