The Department of World Languages, Literatures, and Cultures is looking to hire an advanced language student to work as an undergraduate teaching assistant (T.A.) for Chinese. After a brief training program, the teaching assistant will lead 50-minute drill sessions in the Chinese language for our first-year students. The T.A. sessions complement the 3 hours led by the course instructor.
The T.A. will lead recitation sessions for groups of no more than 13 students to reinforce material introduced in class by the instructor. T.A. responsibilities include:
- Meeting weekly with the course instructor in charge to discuss material to be drilled and coordinate appropriate exercises.
- Organizing and preparing all exercises to be presented in the drill session.
- Presenting drills and maintaining a vital classroom atmosphere.
- Taking attendance at all drill sessions and report the attendance record to the court instructor (either weekly intervals or at the end, as agreed).
- Communicating any concerns to either the course instructor (firstly) or to Annette Levine, the T.A. Program Director.
The Program is explicitly designed to (1) help T.A.s' be comfortable in their role in front of the classroom; and (2) provide healthy and vital drill sessions for our first-year students.
Pay Rate: $15.50 per hour
