As the Assistant Program Director for Initiatives for Nonnative Speakers of English in the Center for Teaching and Learning (CTL), I serve as a program coordinator, instructor and teaching consultant. Additionally, I participate in the administration of the International
Teaching Assistant Program, and co-coordinate the IT: TALK Program (a teaching and cultural
orientation for newly-arrived international graduate students in the
Institute of Technology).
In my instructional role, I teach courses in the International TA
Program, and consult with nonnative English speaking instructional staff, visiting
scholars and post-docs. Often, these meetings focus on enhancing discipline-specific
English proficiency, as well as exploring approaches to teaching in cross-cultural context.
Recent initiatives include serving on the Editorial Board of Transform, a newsletter that explores the culture and scholarship of teaching and learning (SoTL) at the local and national levels, and developing an online tutorial for preparing international graduate students for teaching assistant positions.
My overseas work includes 2 years teaching English in Sevilla, Spain and 1 year developing an English language training program at a U.S. company in Bangalore, India.
