Language Component Teaching Assistantship

The Dean of Liberal Arts has given LLILAS several one-semester Spanish language component teaching assistant positions to be divided between fall and spring semesters. The intent of the language component concept is to introduce the use of the Spanish language in a classroom environment other than that of a Spanish language classroom.

Appointment as a TA grants eligibility for Resident Tuition entitlement (payment of tuition at rate established for Texas residents).

Duties: To prepare a parallel reading list in Spanish and conduct a weekly discussion in Spanish based on readings.

  • must have near-native Spanish language skills
  • must be a second-year graduate student in the Institute of Latin American Studies
*In 1989, the 71st Texas Legislature passed House bill 638 requiring that all public universities provide a program or short course to ensure that courses be taught clearly in the English language. In order to comply, the Center for Teaching Effectiveness and the Texas Intensive English Program are conducting an English Certification Program for international TAs and AIs. For further information, please contact the Office of the Graduate School.
