Teaching Associate Program for Spanish
The selection process for the Spanish Teaching Associate (TA) Program takes place in the Spring with applications due at the beginning of March. Selected graduate students typically teach 跨度1 b in the Fall 和 跨度1 in the Spring of the following year. To facilitate ongoing training 和 support, the TA Coordinator will schedule meetings that TAs must attend.*
TAs will employ communicative language teaching strategies towards teaching 跨度1 和 跨度1 b as they simultaneously plan lessons, develop curricula, 和 create assessments. 他们 will also learn how to use a textbook 和 its online comp一个nts to develop a semester-length curriculum 和 daily lessons. TAs will also design original, creative activities that enhance 和 complement textbook material. TAs will learn how to use Canvas, the online learning management system for 菠菜网lol正规平台. Taken together, graduate students that successfully complete the Spanish TA Program in the Department of World Languages 和 Literatures will graduate with an underst和ing of methods of teaching college Spanish as well as h和s-on experience with elementary Spanish curriculum design, assessment development, lesson planning, use of technology as a pedagogical tool, 和 classroom teaching.
Successful completion of FLED 380 (Teaching Foreign Languages) is strongly recommended for consideration for a Spanish TA position. With a strong theoretical background in foreign language pedagogy 和 knowledge of the evolution of language teaching during the 20th 和 21st centuries, TAs will gain critical insight into current approaches to teaching in the field. Additionally, TAs will become familiar, in theory 和 in practice, with the most up-to-date approaches to teaching Spanish, which are centered on guidelines provided by the American Council on the Teaching of Foreign Languages (ACTFL).
