International Students Interested in Becoming Teaching Assistants:

Please note the following departmental prerequisite for Teaching Assistants.  You must take ESL 5323 Academic Research and Writing (3 hours). The focus of the course is on improving the ability of second language speakers to compose documents, reports and research papers in English.

 

Component Goals and Objectives: Students will:

> Become familiar with the mechanics and formats of formal writing

> Learn the technical aspects of organizing and composing research papers

> Develop sentence structure and writing skills

> Practice critical reading

> Become familiar with the resources in the library

You may want to sign up for the course this semester, not only because it may be another step towards becoming a Teaching Assistant, but also because it will help you in many other ways, e.g., in writing papers for courses, submitting papers to journals, or for writing a thesis or dissertation.

To enroll in ESL 5323, you may need to select "Distance Learning" as the Campus when you are in the Banner System.
