Spring 2025 EAP 5836
(3-credit supervised ITA teaching course):
The supervised ITA
teaching course, EAP 5836, is mandatory for all international graduate students
who are in their first semester of teaching (with lecturing, discussion leader,
or lab responsibilities) and who have not met the English proficiency requirements
above. International
graduate students appointed as TA-G (grading and office hour responsibilities
only) are not
required
to pass a SPEAK Test and are not eligible to enroll in EAP 5836.
EAP 5836 is offered in
the fall and spring semesters. EAP 5836 is not offered in summer. Any international graduate
teaching assistant whose first language is not English must demonstrate English
proficiency prior to the start of summer classes in order to teach in the
summer semester.
