Allen Hall, Coral Gables Campus
The Intensive Language Institute (ILI) will once again offer a free, non-credit English course for International Teaching Assistants (ITAs), especially for those who have not yet met the spoken English proficiency requirements.
This course is an opportunity for ITAs to get more practice with pronunciation, fluency, and grammar, along with the presentation and discourse skills that are vital to their success in the classroom. Meeting times are Tuesdays and Thursdays between February 1 and April 14 from 3:30 p.m. to 5 p.m.
This course is open to qualifying ITAs who: have not achieved a score of 55 on the SPEAK test, have not passed the subsequent videotaped teaching presentation test, or wish to improve their spoken English skills in order to better perform in a position of classroom or lab instruction and contact with undergraduate students.
Students must register in order to attend the class. Please call Maki Burgess at (305) 284-4727 to register or e-mail her atalc.cstudies@miami.edu. For more information about this course, call the ILI director, Julia Cayuso, at (305) 284-1326 or e-mail her at jcayuso@miami.edu.
