From lkc at cs.brown.edu Wed Aug 27 16:47:31 2008 From: lkc at cs.brown.edu (Lauren Clarke) Date: Wed Aug 27 16:47:35 2008 Subject: [Phd1] English Language courses Message-ID: <01df01c90886$2032f4a0$59269480@cs.brown.edu> Dear Grad Students- Before the start of each semester, all new international teaching assistants (ITA's) whose first language is not English must be evaluated and certified as proficient in English before they are allowed to teach. I have already contacted the ITA's for the fall courses. If you will be an ITA in the spring or if you want to be prepared to be an ITA during a future semester, you should contact Jill Stewart (jill_stewart@brown.edu) or Barbara Gourlay (Barbara_gourlay@brown.edu) to enroll in one of the evaluation sessions in December. The evaluations in December and January are being held on: December 9, Tuesday December 11, Thursday January 14, Wednesday January 15, Thursday In addition, if any international graduate students want to improve their spoken English skills, the Center for Language Studies invites you to attend the classes held for the ITAs as space allows. Classes for the fall semester may already be to capacity but you can contact them to discuss getting into either a fall or spring class.

As part of their orientation, they ask new students to read the Academic Code and sign a card agreeing to adhere to the code. I have the information that was handed out today, including the code and signature cards, in my office. Please stop by and pick up a folder of information. The cards need to be signed and returned to the Grad School (NOT to me) by Friday, September 5th. Monday is a holiday so I won't be here then. You can pick up your folder today until 5pm today or any time after Tuesday at 9am. Thanks, Lauren Lauren Clarke Faculty & Student Affairs Manager lkc@cs.brown.edu 401-863-7655 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
