Beginning in fall 2012, the International Education Division made available for the academic year, a faculty member to consult with discipline faculty who would like assistance in working with International and English Language Acquisition students, both international and immigrant/resident, who are enrolled in college classes.
This person may be able to:
-help faculty analyze an instructional issue related to International and English Language Acquisition students in the classroom
-assist in reviewing assessments and language used in assignments
-help assess cultural influences present to assist in problem solving and optimize class discussion or small group participation
-discuss and identify effective classroom management techniques
-refer faculty to resources for best practices in effectively teaching non-native English speaking students.
There may be other areas that develop as we proceed. The idea is to provide a resource for faculty to support student success and effective instruction.
