International Teaching Assistants

The IALC is responsible for providing English language assessment of International Teaching Assistants (ITAs) at Washington State University. The Graduate School, in conjunction with individual departments, is responsible for acting on the recommendations of the IALC.

Our assessment is based on observations of both linguistic and paralinguistic features of the ITAs English language skills within the context of an academic presentation. The recommendations we make do not prevent international graduate students from receiving assistantship, but may limit the scope of interaction they may have with undergraduate students in particular contexts. Recommendations always include a means for students to improve their skills.
