All international students entering NJIT with a TA or RA in Fall  2021 or already at NJIT and starting as a TA in Spring or Fall 2021 at NJIT are required to participate in the NJIT Teaching and Communication Skills Workshop.

Your position as a TA may include being an instructor in a course, a laboratory or recitation section leader, a tutor, or a grader. This workshop is intended to help international teaching assistants succeed in carrying out the responsibilities associated with their award. In addition to TAs, entering RAs are included in this program since they also require a high level of English communication skills.

The workshop includes a required assessment of spoken English.  Additional details on the workshop and assessment will be available shortly.
