Foreign Language Teaching Assistants
Foreign language teaching assistants are native-speaking students pursuing post-baccalaureate degrees in their home countries, often in language teaching or linguistics. The language assistants teach conversation courses, run language labs, hold office hours, and take classes. They also organize cultural events for the 51²č¹Żapp community, such as language tables, coffee hours, and film screenings, among others. Every year, we host four FLTAs in Arabic, German, Russian, and Spanish.
Individual Assistance
CLIC is available to all students for individual assistance. We will work with you to help you identify strategies and techniques to support your language learning, as well as find resources and opportunities to study the language(s) and learn about culture(s) of your interest.
