NJIT TEACHING AND COMMUNICATION SKILLS WORKSHOP
Like other universities in the United States and Canada, NJIT provides training for international teaching assistants in teaching methods and in English communication in teaching situations.
2020 WORKSHOP DATES:
Monday, August 24th, to Thursday, August 27, 2020
For more information, please contact:
Dr. Jerry Paris, paris@njit.edu or Dr. Victoria Livingstone, victoria.j.livingstone@njit.edu
These situations may include being an instructor in a course, a laboratory or recitation section leader, a tutor, or a grader. This training 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.
All international students entering NJIT with a TA or RA are required to participate in the 4-day NJIT Teaching and Communication Skills Workshop held in August.
In the workshop, students will make a series of oral presentations. Students evaluated as needing additional training in the use of spoken English in teaching situations will be required, depending on the evaluation, to enroll in ENG 503, Spoken English for International Teaching Assistants, or ENG 505, Advanced Spoken English for International Students, (focusing on pronunciation) in the fall semester.
