Foreign Language Teaching Assistants
Foreign language teaching assistants are native-speaking students pursuing post-baccalaureate degrees in their home countries, often in language teaching or linguistics. The language assistants teach conversation courses, run language labs, hold office hours, and take classes. They also organize cultural events for the Grinnell community, such as language tables, coffee hours, and film screenings, among others. Every year, we host four FLTAs in Arabic, German, Russian, and Spanish.
