Let’s Talk… What are some of the challenges and/or opportunities that you might encounter working with an instructor or teaching assistant from a different country?
Global Mindset: A Case StudySam is waiting for class to start and overhears a small group of students talking about their international teaching assistant. The students complain that they can’t understand the instructor because the instructor “can’t speak English.” One of the students even says that the instructor is “dumb” and questions why she is even allowed to teach. Sam asked the instructor a question last week after class and had a really different experience!
Global Mindset: A Case StudyHe felt like the instructor was very intelligent and helpful, and he didn’t have any problems understanding her. Sam noticed that she seems easier to understand now that they’ve talked one-on-one, and he learned that she has quite a bit of experience working in her country. He feels badly that other students are talking so negatively about her.
Let’s Talk… What challenges might this instructor face teaching in another language? What can these students do to broaden their perception and attitude? What can Sam say to his classmates?
To new friends that look or think differently. To new experiences that feel unfamiliar or foreign. To new academic pursuits that challenge our limits. College is Opening your Circle…
